Matthew 5:11-12<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBlessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Our dear friend, Sally Graham strikes again. She forwarded the following piece that someone had sent along to her.\u00a0 More Christians need to apply this to their own life!<\/p>\n

Law of the Garbage Truck
\n<\/strong>\u00a0
\nOne day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.\u00a0 We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
\n\u00a0
\nMy taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.\u00a0 My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean—he was really friendly.\u00a0 So I asked, \u201cWhy did you just do that?\u00a0 This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!\u201d\u00a0 This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’
\n\u00a0
\nHe explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.\u00a0 As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally.
\n\u00a0
\nJust smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
\n\u00a0
\nThe bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.\u00a0 Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so . . . Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don’t.
\n\u00a0
\nLife is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!
\n\u00a0
\nHave a garbage-free day!<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
