The Wrong Line

We always choose the check-out line 

that will take forever, especially when 

we are in a big hurry.

Life is always about our choices, 


but the results are always God's.

God created a Mr. Murphy 


who developed laws that have 

to do with choices and their 

eventual perverse results.

Mr. Murphy's law about check out lines is:

"the check out line you choose will always move the slowest."

Mr. Murphy's original Law stated that:

"if anything can go wrong, it will."

The lessons to be learned are gratitude, patience and tolerance.

Have gratitude, you have a need, met by a store, and you have the means to purchase.

Have gratitude that you are wanted or needed someplace in a hurry.

Patience is a virtue and all good things will happen in God's time,

and just hope that you are late for your own funeral.

Impatience can be avoided by patiently enjoying what is happening around you.

You may miss the most enjoyable moment of the day because you were 


concentrating on your impatience.

God never fails to entertain, learn to enjoy the journey,

not just the anticipation of arriving at the destination.

When you think of tolerance you may think of our ability to endure pain, but since 


most pain is self inflicted, we will move on to a different meaning of tolerance.

The definition of tolerance is: Not to argue with a person or situation

that is against or opposite of our normal beliefs.

If you are intolerant and you protest, you lose, you are still standing in line.

Be tolerant, accept the situation, the line will eventually move, and this to shall pass.

Be tolerant and change your beliefs, rather than subscribing to the Laws of Murphy, 


have faith in your Higher Power.

Think negative and negative things will happen, says Murphy.

Think love and kindness, and happiness will abound, says God.

Smile at the people in line with you and offer to make the experience more enjoyable for all.

Make jokes about Mr. Murphy and know that your attitude can affect those around you.

If the other people can't take a joke, that is on them.

However, God's law states that love and laughter are contagious.

If those around you remain negative and they do not laugh with you,

have gratitude that you are not that miserable and that you know how to laugh.

Be tolerant of others, they may be Murphy believers and they do not have a 


Higher Power to guide them to a life that is happy, joyous and free.

Another of Murphy's laws states: "Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse."

Today, do not let things alone by themselves.

Today, pray for guidance from your Higher Power that

you may do His/Her/It's will in a positive way.

Today, do those things that make you happy, others happy and your Higher Power 


happy, and most importantly, try to prove Mr. Murphy's laws to be wrong.

Remember, you are never in the wrong line.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
