What Do You Do with Your Doors?

I was recently in a writing class where the instructor mentioned taking note of the way we enter or close doors in our lives. She described her hurried morning frantically leaving her house; arms piled high with books, to thoughtlessly slam the door behind her. Her words of regret struck me.

Do I welcome whatever is coming my way through the door, even difficulties in life? If I do I will be able to navigate much better through them. Imagine the difference between welcoming life and slamming the door on it. If I am a welcomer, I will have the power to affect the quality of my world and leave the sweet fragrance of Christ through what ever door I close or enter, rather than an angry huff. I could become a world changer. At the least I will affect those around me in a positive and uplifting way.
