Paul Dickson
discovered that the size of the cut he inflicted on himself while shaving was
directly proportionate to the importance of the event he was shaving for. That
led him to an interest in other "universal laws" evident in daily life. The
following are a few of the many he has collected:
"No books you lend are lost except those you particularly want to keep.
"There are three ways to get something done:
do it yourself, hire someone, or tell your kids not to do it.
"You can throw a burnt match out of the window of your car and start a forest fire easier than you can start one under dry logs in your fireplace with a box of matches and the complete edition of the Sunday newspaper."
Let's face it, more often than not it's life's little annoyances that get to trigger our "worry/ frustration button" and cause us to overreact in one way or another.
As one of my favorite ditties goes: "It's the little things that bother us / and put us on the rack / you can sit upon a mountain / but you can't sit on a tack."
Most of us have at least one worry/ frustration button—and as long as this button is active, it's a good reminder that I still have some growing to do—and will until I get to the place where I quit worrying and overreacting and learn to trust God for everything!
Hmm. I see I still have a ways to go!
