A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, February 8th

Good Morning, God,
Thank you, Lord, that this incident didn't make headlines.
It happened and was overheard in a local eatery. The man (we would hesitate to say, "gentleman") was at the register to pay for his meal. The hostess asked the usual question: "And how was everything, sir?" To which the man replied, "The service _______!" (you heard it, Lord, so we won't pray it back to you). The man then commented on the fact that it was a person in a management position that didn't give good service, so it was no wonder that the overall service was so poor. To her credit, the hostess simply apologized and didn't argue.
Lord, please forgive that man for his outburst and rudeness. He must have been having a bad day. May he be gifted with much more patience. Also, please bless our restaurants with great servers who appreciate their jobs and tips so much that they go beyond what is considered "service enough," all the way to super service and warm hospitality.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
