My family plays Mexican Train Dominoes on a regular basis. It is a fun game! At first it was challenging to learn the best strategies. And it was very frustrating to lose game after game. One night after losing once again, I was lamenting my bad luck and had a “God Moment”. Was I was losing because of my bad attitude? At first I rejected the thought. Did it really matter how I acted over a silly game?
The more I pondered the idea, the more I felt the Lord was teaching me about my attitude through this simple game. If losing put me in such a bad frame of mind, how would I react to more important events in my life? I started praying and asking Him to give me the peace to lose gracefully. And you know, He did just that! Though I am still competitive, I can lose and not be mad for the rest of the night. And I seem to have more peace in other areas of my life.
It’s amazing the things you can learn while playing dominoes! And would you believe, after that little "revelation" I even started winning!
