The day Jeremiah stopped a grumbler

I woke up feeling bad. I didn't sleep well and didn't feel very well. The weather outside was horrible. Hurricane type weather; very rainy and windy, jut not a good day to do anything. I somehow made it to work on time just to discover that 2 people were out and I would have extra work to do. I grumbled and felt bad. I checked Facebook and saw something someone wrote that really hurt me and my mood got much worse and so did my grumbling.

Finally lunchtime came and I thought that might make things better... wrong. I was pulling into Burger King and had the right of way when a mini-van decided to swerve in front of me and cut me off. I grumbled some more. I had to follow behind the mini-van into the drive-thru, they apparently wanted to mess with me and stopped a foot from the intercom. They just sat there and I just sat there waiting. Ten minutes went by and they were still sitting there so I decided to just pull out and leave. As soon as I began pulling out the mini-van shot over and tried to cut me off again. By now I wasn't even angry, I just wanted to leave. I was able to exit the Burger King without being killed and my grumbling continued.

I drove down Lovell Rd. looking for somewhere else to buy lunch. The rain was much harder and the roads were flooding. I decided to go to Arbys. I rolled down the window at the intercom to order my food and the rain poured into my car and soaked me, I was really grumbling and feeling sorry for myself. I reached into my billfold and pulled out the cash I had. I noticed something written on the side of a dollar bill: Jeremiah 29:11-13. I quickly opened my YouVersion Bible app on my Blackberry to read that passage:

"11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12  Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart".... and my grumbling stopped.

I will never know who wrote that passage of Scripture on that dollar bill, whoever it was, I thank the Lord for them. They will never know how much it helped this grumbler.
