Rant

Sigh.
Our pastor on Sunday mentioned the importance of forgiveness to the enemy; and indeed to bless them. Given that our Lord sacrificed and suffered so much for us, to me it should be just a matter of putting down my pride and anger in order to follow in his footsteps, right?
It's not so easy, sadly. The forgive part I can do (and even that, after time) but the blessing part…

Got into an argument with a colleague from another team last week. Granted it was our mistake, and this we have admitted right from the start. But then the guy made a big deal out of it and started wanting us to do the equivalent of a public apology to the front desk, when the desk was not complaining at all. His emails started taking on a rather ridiculous tone that made me think he wasn't about moving on -- rather he just wanted to assign blame. As super I took the brunt of his petulance, and managed (I thought) to told him to shove it, albeit in a more civil manner. Squelched any residue anger with Kenny Rogers and thought I could just (first) forgive.

Monday we met up with our bosses in tow, to walkthrough and agree on procedures -- he went at it again! If our bosses had not blatantly disregarded his attempts I would have .. Don't really know what I would have done, really. But what he's managed to do is do piss me off -- garggghhhhhh!! And yet must forgive!! Prolly can do it, In Time, but meanwhile for now... Garghgggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

"A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense." - Proverbs 19:11

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

“Don't angry Be...e...e happy!” :)

The intention of rival and antagonist are to cause us fall in devastation, demolition, frustration, aggravation and upset.
But when we are joyful, peaceful, lovely, motive, and inspire by God’s divine Love and Grace, their deeds would be useless to us…

Cheers up!

“Don’t worries Be...e...e... happy!” :) :)
