I am constantly delighted by how God works in my life. I frequently say that spiritual practice saves time, money, and energy, and it does. There’s tangible proof every day. And I have a wonderful example to share.
For a week or two, the DVD drive on my laptop hasn’t operating properly and on Tuesday, I got a strong feeling that it was time to call Apple and find out what to do about it. The technician suggested that it might be a software issue and I should update to the latest operating system.
So, I backed everything up and did the update. That didn’t fix my DVD player. What it did was it slowed my laptop way down. By Friday night, it was so slow it was really difficult to work. Remember swapping floppies back in the old days, thirty years ago? It was slow like that.
So, I called tech support and spent a couple of hours on the phone and there was no end in sight, so I decided to take the laptop to the Apple store.
At the store I had a great Genius bar rep who was so sweet and helpful. It was a pleasure to spend time with her. In the end, here is the good news:
My laptop was 8 days from the warranty protection plan expiring and if I hadn’t brought it in, I wouldn’t have realised it.
They’re replacing the DVD player under warranty.
They’re going to do an extra check of every component and part to make sure everything works well before that warranty expires.
They’re going to fedex it back to me.
Now, back in the old days when the ego ran my life, I would have been so angry and upset that any of the issues were happening and I can bet you that the Genius Bar goddess would not have shined her wonderful light on me and felt called to be so helpful.
I know that because there was nothing to forgive and I was enjoying being patient, for the most part, that everything worked together for my good,and I’ll have the benefit of my old laptop for a while longer.
And I can honestly see that because of my attitude, my Peace, that I really did save time, money, and energy.
That’s how life is. It’s so worth it to have patience. When I have patience, it is so easy to see how completely loved I am by the Universe!
