That's Wonderful News, Dear Amy! Hugs!
I Downsize Many of my Graphics/Gifs,
But there are a Few with Big Bytes that Seemed to Lose Some Quality,
so I've not Posted them yet.
I'll be on the Lookout for them in my Laptops, so I can Share them.
Thank you to Everyone for the Pings, Pics, and Posts!

Our Lord Grant us All a Peaceful and Restful Night.

The Power Of Soft Answers
April 10, 2012
My car broke down in a tunnel during rush hour in downtown Boston. Angry drivers expressed their frustration as they struggled past me. Eventually, the car was towed to a station for repairs. Later it broke down again, stranding me along the Interstate at 2 a.m. Back to the shop it went.
Unfortunately, the repair shop also doubled as a parking lot during Red Sox baseball games. When I arrived after work the next day to pick up my car, it was hemmed in by 30 other vehicles!
Lets just say I was less than Christlike in my initial reaction. I ranted and raved, and then, realizing it was only making them less willing to help me at the close of their day, I decided to give up. I stormed toward the glass doors and struggled to get them open. My anger increased when the station workers laughed at me.
I had barely made it out when I realized how unlike Christ Id been. Chastened, I rapped on the locked doors and mouthed Im sorry to the staff inside. They were stunned! They let me back in, and I meekly told them that Christians shouldnt behave as I had. Minutes later, they were shifting cars to free up mine. I learned the truth that soft rather than harsh words can change circumstances (Prov. 15:1).
O may I find in angers grip
The strength to temper tongue and lip;
But failing that, may God grant me
The courage for apology. Kilgore
A soft answer has often been
the means of breaking a hard heart.
Read: Proverbs 15:1-4

As I was reading this today it reminded me of what happened to me on Thursday. I was pulled over by the Police and escorted to the DOT commercial truck spot inspections place. NY is known for just setting up commercial truck inspections to generate revenue and find something wrong with your vehicle.
I was very pleasant, joked around with the cop and DOT guys. They loved the little mixer I had on the truck so even though they were inspecting my truck to find things wrong they were pleasant back to me. They could have written me up for a few things but didn’t. I was cited for a broken U bolt but was allowed to fix it and get back on the road.
I lost 4 hours of time, the repair cost me money but all in all I needed to fix the problem anyway. A friend has the opposite attitude, he gets pulled over all the time and ends up in court every time.
It took many years for me to realize this but thank God I have learned.
