MY BAD!

I was oblivious on whether she was just parked and waiting for somebody to climb up her car or waiting for the car that was backing up so she could take over the parking space. I swirved to her left side and unaware of the offense I was about to commit I just went on ahead and took the parking space that was meant for her. As soon as I got out of my car I heard somebody scream off the top of her lungs. The words coming out of her mouth were thrown towards my direction like a rocket grenade fired from an RPG. She felt offended...I felt embarassed and like a wild animal defending his teritory I wanted so badly to retaliate and say the words "Right Back At Ya!' But I felt a conviction so strong, I backed off and instead did the opposite ... I apologized! A transposition took place, now if I were in her shoes and the same exact thing happened to me I would not immediately assume that the person who stole my parking space was oblivious on whether I was waiting for a parking space or just parking by the side while waiting for a companion, I too would have felt offended to say the least. She accepted my apologies but was still obviously upset. We parted ways, I felt peace that only the Holy Spirit can provide.

And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him take your cloak as well.

Matthew 5:40
