Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Every pastor has dealt with someone like this from time to time no matter how good a pastor you are.
However, don't take it personally. Just smile, say a prayer for them, and then move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people in the church, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that godly people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right and forgive the ones who don't. We're not always responsible for everything that happens to us, but we are
responsible for how we react to what happens.
Life is ten percent of what you make it and ninety percent of how you take it. Don't be a stinker, but a fragrance of hope to those addicted to the garbage.
