During your pilgrim on earth, I am sure that you have come across someone in the following situation:

-Someone who lost his or her job
-Someone who graduated from school/college/university but has not been able to find a job
-Someone whose home went for closure
-A student who failed a class/a course
-Someone who has tried several times to be admitted into a program but all in vain
-Someone whose car was repossessed
-Someone who has failed to find a life partner
-Someone who either decided or was forced to divorce
-Someone who is always in financial challenges due to his/her lifestyle
-Someone whose driving license was suspended due to drinking and driving
-Someone who is living a lonely life because all forsook him or her because of his or her bad attitude and behavior

There is no question that anyone who finds himself/herself on the above situations needs prayers and encouragement from family, church members, community, or friends. What I find disturbing is when someone lives in a state of denial and starts blaming everybody else including God.
A case in point is about an incident that took place at work today!

After scanning her merchandise, a woman who heretofore had appeared to be a good person, started yelling at me saying that I had overcharged her.”There is no way this little things would be $ 50.00!” she alleged as I stood there condemned! “I don’t trust you at all!” she added! All I did was to print her a receipt of what I had scanned! With a very angry face, she read the receipt as someone studying for the final test! Meanwhile,
I stood there waiting patiently with couple customers waiting as well.

On finding out that everything was OK and that I had not over charged her, she paid and left grumbling!

It’s only fair that people learn to take care of their own problems/frustrations instead dragging others into their challenges. Don’t you think so?

Just a thought.
