I hate when people cut in front of me when I’m waiting in a line! Don’t they know to wait for their turn? I guess not. After years and years of putting up with “line jumpers,” I finally smartened up! Instead of getting angry and not saying something to the offenders, I finally learned what to do!

Yesterday when I was waiting in line to check out with the cashier at a drug store, a “lady” came and stood next to me. When it was my turn to move up to the cashier, she rushed in front of me leaving me in her dust. Amazement and anger turned to inspiration.

“Thank you for taking my turn and giving me some extra time in line,” I said to her in a gentle voice and with a smile on my face. She turned to look at me and said in a nasty voice, “It was my turn!”

Her words didn’t dissuade me. “Now I have time to pray for you,” I said. She mumbled something under her breath while I said a prayer for her…then one for myself. I also had time to thank God for the wisdom that he had bestowed on me in this incident. Peace filled me…and then I checked out. I had won!
