Yesterday's sermon was about learning to be content.
My minister talked about the Apostle Paul who famously said, "I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am."
That's saying a lot because he was in a pickle a good bit of the time.
My minister also quoted Victor Frankel who came to some amazing conclusions when he was a prisoner in a concentration camp in World War II.
What he basically came to was that other people couldn't change who he was - no matter what they did to him.
I believe this as well - but I don't always feel it. Sometimes I feel like "This person's driving me crazy."
Back in the years when I was writing poetry, (and this is probably no surprise to you) I wrote one about this very subject.
HELP STOP CRIME
by Cecily Crossman - 1972
I accused you of a felony,
I thought you broke my heart,
And ruined my life.
But,
After thoroughly investigating the crime,
I will concede,
It could have been an inside job.
