I had renewed my driver’s license but it never came in the mail. I called three weeks later to see why. When I was there the first time they didn’t do two things that would allow the system to continue. The kind man I was talking to set up my appointment to go back.

I went back. Three times the gal tried to register my thumbprint. Finally she had me go to another window. Twice in this process she thanked me for my patience. The whole time I was reminding myself that I am representing Jesus. 

When everything was finally done I said, “May God bless your day in a special way.” She smiled and thanked me. I walked out and said to the Lord, “The pressures of life really test our character.”

I like to think about the potter on a wheel. Once the prepared clay is set on the wheel, it takes a lot of consistent pressure to center it before it can be formed.
