Can you see Christ in me?

I've been thinking about this for a while now. Can people see Christ thru me? Do I always act like a Christian? Honestly--NO. When I went to Walmart the other week after they had started rearranging the WHOLE store, I was not Christ-like. I was tired, hungry and wanted to just pickup a few things and get out of there quickly. Of course, I had to find everything I was looking for first and I let it be known that I wasn't happy about it. I don't have a lot of patience sometimes and my actions aren't always the nicest. I don't have any of the bumper stickers or fish symbols on my car for obvious reasons. My husband can vouch for me on this one--I'm a very impatient driver. I'm always in a hurry and don't like to drive slow. He has threatened to disconnect my horn. I really, really like my horn! It kept me from being hit a couple times last week. But at the end of the day when I think back to what I did during the day, how many times did I act just like the rest of the world? How many times could my kids see Christ thru my actions? I'm really trying this week to be a little more patient in my driving. I'm just avoiding Walmart altogether. I don't have the energy to deal with them just yet!

I wonder what kind of example I'm being for my kids when I complain about the driver in front of me going super slow or the one who pulled out in front of me. Maybe the slow driver is crying or upset over something. Just maybe the one who pulled out in front of me was distracted by something that just happened. I don't know what's going on in their lives, but I know that God commands us to show compassion and forgiveness to others. Instead of complaining & blowing my horn at them, I need to take the time to pray for them. So, if you see me on the road this week or at Walmart and it looks like I'm biting my tongue, I probably am! It's going to be hard at first--old habits are hard to break. But I'm going to make an effort to let Christ show in everything I do. What about you?
