Assigned Seat

            Flying home from Miami I noticed a women being bullied out of claiming a seat she paid for.  She had the window seat and a man had taken it upon himself to sit in her seat.  This big burley guy was bent on having the window seat so the lady kindly just said she would sit in the middle.  Please forgive me but being humble was not the first thing I was thinking when I saw this go down on the plane. Especially considering how much I love window seats.  A window seat provides you with additional scenery instead of constantly staring at the back of someone’s head.   She quietly sat in the middle and didn’t offer a fuss. The flight attendant called her name over the loud speaker and immediately folks started to wonder if is she would be a reason our plane would be delayed longer, but instead the flight attendant allowed this woman to sit in the front row in first class.  I love it how God gives us these little test of life to see how we would handle the situation. Personally I didn’t like what I was seeing in regards to how the man treated her and none of the flight attendant were present when it all went down, but God was there and he heard everything.  The lesson I learned from that is this there is no sense of showing your tail on a plane when God has everything under control. Once the lady was moved to first class I began to laugh and these words came to my head “You can have the window seat because God has a place for me in first class”.
