Pray for guidance in all situations and then pray for the guts to follow through on where God has led you. I do love the other comment where she said "Jesus was no wimp when confronted...". I tend to forget He was tough too!

My gut reaction (which seemed horribly un-Christ-like) was to tell him politely but firmly, "Look, you can either lose money by taking us on our 20-minute ride, or I'm going to sit here in your cab for 20 minutes with my crying children." <br /><br />It was his job to take you where you needed to go -- you weren't being unreasonable. Some part of my mind thinks this kind of firm statement is in line with Christian behavior -- Jesus was no wimp when confronted with someone else's selfishness.<br /><br />So, I'm still not sure if that would've been a right (or safe!!) response, but I think sometimes we think that being a Christian means taking it on the chin in every situation. And I am positive that our justice-loving, growth-producing God doesn't want that either. <br />NancyPeter and Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329947206142706470noreply@blogger.com
