Things are relative

I started today in a really bad mood and here's why:

We got our rent increase notice last night and they want to put up the rent by $20 a week. OUCH! And then this morning while taking my bike out of the garage, it fell off the side stand and pushed the gear level through the stator cover on the side of the engine. So that is another $220 to buy a new one and also the week or so of having to have Michelle cart me to work and back until the part arrives and I can fit it onto the bike. So I've been feeling that the world is against me, and then I read about this:

Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter was run over in their driveway by accident and was killed.

Now... how big are my problems actually? Not very.

I have to apologise to God for putting things out of focus so often in my daily walk with Him.
