I think emotions can make us so fragile. They can take us on enormous rides mostly through territory that we woudn't necessarily want to travel.

At the traffic lights, to the annoyance of the driver behind me, I let another driver in. It was one of those junctions where the driver getting into the junction stood no chance unless someone stopped. On this ocassion that driver was me. The car following me wasn't pleased and he demonstrated his disapproval by high revving his engine and leaning on his horn. Slightly flustered I stood my ground and waiting for the acknowledgement of the driver I took the heat for. They simply drove away and sped off into the distance.

I was livid for more than a few moments especially as I had an irrate maniac (only slightly exaggerated trust me!) on my tail until I turned off. How easy would it have been just to raise a hand or nod a head in appreciation.

In life or church are we like that? Do we at all times remember to say thank you? If the young people are rude around us, is it because they are just part of 'that generation' or are they simply following our example?

A please or thank you, a none verbal acknowledgement of a kind deed can stabilise someones emotions. Make that game changer today be you.
