showers of blessing!

This morning started like most mornings. Alarm goes off! I hit snooze. Alarm goes off again. I hit snooze again. Alarm goes off again. I get up. I get around, spend some time in meditation and worship. Get dressed. Brush my teeth. Head out to the car. As I walk outside I realize it is going to be a beautiful day. The birds are singing, the sun is shinning, it about 65 degrees, it does not get much better than this. (especially if you car has no a/c) I head towards the office. I did not have time to make some coffee so of course I need to stop. I run into Royal farms, poor some coffee, and get in line. As I am humming the song "Come Lord Jesus Come", pondering on the beautiful morning, praising Him for the great things He hath done, patiently waiting in this ridiculous line (where there is only one cashier for about 12 people, common at the farms store) I feel something that you do not normally feel while standing in line at the farm store. Some thing hot spraying all over me, my shirt my shoes are soaked, I feel like I jumped into a hot shower without testing the water!!! Man, that hurts! I turn to find a older lady apologizing, as she just realized she poured her 32 oz. coffee all over the floor and all over me! The humming of "Come Lord Jesus Come" stops. I have a decision to make. Do I yell at the incompetent, clumsy , destructive,probably did on purpose old lady? Do I sue her for slightly burning me by the coffee shower she has just given me? With the 10 others watching, what do I do. What would you do? What would HE do? I was wearing one of my favorite shirts.
