On my bad attitude!

I decided to tackle the elements yesterday and drive the two miles from my driveway to the grocery store to refresh my household’s food supply! I had a few moments of panic as I slid sideways on one stretch but other areas were totally clear and dry, all in all I got there without incident and made my left turn into the Publix. I got my cart and set about filling it noticing that I had put things in it that I wouldn’t buy under normal circumstances, and no I am not going to tell you what they were. However, I will tell you what I didn’t put in my buggy that I found when I was unloading into the sliding door of the van. As I took the last bags off of something rather large and square I saw that underneath my eggs and bread there was a case of Budweiser Light Beer!

Since I don’t drink beer I thought back to my frenzied shopping to make sure I wouldn’t have picked it up in the excitement over the upcoming Super Bowl, only being slightly sarcastic here. Knowing it wasn’t one of my random purchases I took it back into the store and to the cashier where I had paid for my groceries, when he saw it he actually let out an expletive, I guess he was thinking about the irate customer that would probably soon be back wondering why his drink of choice had been left out! But I have seriously digressed; I was going to tell you something else! Have you ever, as you were going up and down the grocery store aisle, run into the same person over and over again? That’s what happened to me today, I kept having to excuse myself for needing to reach in front of the same person who, to put it kindly, was acting “entitled”. I wasn’t doing it on purpose but she seemed bent on having an attitude with me. After my adventure with the beer which I didn’t buy and got back to my humble red van, I noticed the “entitled” lady was parked right next to me and was starting to get into a Jaguar, cool looking car right? I also noticed that she was having an attitude with the man she was with and he was trying to get the hood of the car opened and I wondered if he even knew what he was looking for! “Ahhh a chance to do good for evil,” I thought, and so I got out and asked if I could be of assistance in case they needed a jump-start for the battery. She drew herself up into a very haughty stance and announced loudly “No, I’m good!”  I got back into my van which cranked the first time I turned the key, backed out and left her standing there holding her pride and the poor man hostage. I wondered how her day would turn out. Proverbs 6:16-19 “These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.”  Did anyone besides me notice that the very first thing listed in that list of God’s most un-favorite things was a proud look?
