This morning while I was on my way to the office, I was reading the Father's Book. The train was packed as many people were also going to work. When we reached the next station, the person who was sitting in front of me was about to go down and supposedly I was the next person to sit on that seat. But one lady who was standing behind me went in and she sat instead of me. At first, I felt angry but realizing I was holding Father's words in my hand and Mother's teaching in my mind, I thought to myself, "Maybe she needs the seat more than I need it."
Then as soon as I reached the office, my colleague went to me and asked for help with his report. My natural response is to complain about how he cannot do it by himself. But I took a deep breath and approached him with gentleness. Little by little I help him. He said he was sorry that he came to me very early, with a smile and lightness in my heart I responded to him, "It's okay."
Father and Mother, thank You for teaching me patience today, too, also.
