Scripture Reading: Proverbs 14:29 – “Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.”
Story:
One evening, we had a large dinner to celebrate the birth of my eldest son. There was a lot of crockery and utensils after dinner. I stacked them all as it was late at night by the time the guests left. Early next morning my part-time maid came and washed the crockery, cutlery, and utensils. Suddenly we heard a loud noise and could well imagine that something had broken. I have a lot of patience and these things usually do not disturb me. I took it in my stride, but my husband went immediately to find out what had happened. The maid told him that she had broken a plate.
The plate happened to be of fine bone china. It was a very expensive dinner set and we had just bought it a week ago. It was not possible to replace a piece again and the set was spoiled. My husband was livid. He shouted at the maid. She pleaded that it was a mistake and that it slipped from her hand and she would not do it again. An argument continued between them. I went to pacify and improve the situation. Somehow it was already too late. Strong words had passed between the two because she said, “It was only a plate and he is so angry with me.”
It affected her mental health and also my husband’s because they were both angry and could not understand logic or reason. In anger, she left the job and immediately left asking me for her monthly salary. Even though I persuaded her that this annoyance was a temporary measure because he had lost a plate that was precious to him and it would not be possible to find remnant pieces in the market, she wanted to leave. I paid her dues and she was gone.
This incident taught me five lessons in my life
- Lower your expectation.
- No materialistic thing is worth worrying about
- Take responsibility and do not blame others
- Anger affects mental health
- Remorse at your action
Let us Pray: Lord Jesus, help me not to focus on materialistic things. Teach me to emphasize love, kind deeds and good actions, to leave anger, and take rational decisions so that I may become a happy and joyful person with good mental health. Help me open myself to the abundance of the universe and be filled with positive thoughts and energy.
Let us continue with the Lord’s prayer:
