Yesterday we lost access to our email and FTP site due to something that fell through the cracks. (And if you're trying to get a hold of us, we're still having some issues.) That happens sometimes, doesn't it? We look back and wonder how we missed it, why we weren't looking for it.
It all stemmed back to payment of a domain name that was purchased many years ago. I thought it was quite interesting that the provider could turn off the domain name in an instant with one click, but it will take nearly three days to get it fully back online again.
We've had intermittent service. Some of us could get email and not send it. Some could send and not get email. And others, like our Mt. Vernon office, was completely cut off from everything.
Like I said yesterday, life happens. No one was really at fault. Do you think you would remember to renew something that you originally paid for 3 to 5 years earlier? I can't even remember what I was doing five years ago.
So, my prayer for you today is to be understanding when things you can't control happen. Don't look at it as if someone did something to you on purpose. They didn't. There was no intention of evil or to make your day more stressful than normal. Things in life just happen.
Try to see things from the perspective of the one who was ultimately responsible. Their intention wasn't to screw up anyone's day, right? You wouldn't want anyone to feel that way if *you* were the responsible one. Pray for them instead. Send good thoughts their way. Make them feel better by knowing you don't have bad feelings toward their unintentional actions. Doing so will make you feel better too.
Blessings to you today.
