Well Jo'burg rose to the occasion once
again! I needed to be at the office early for a CEO meeting so I
made the effort to get my behind out the bed early and off I went.
Well, 1 hour later I had hardly landed on the highway and I could see
this wasn't going to get any better. I then made the treacherous
mistake of thinking Witkoppen might be better and I paid dearly. 3
hours later I rolled into the office and just caught the tail end of
the meeting.
While driving though and counting my
woes, I drove past a man, hobbling along on crutches. He was
obviously paralysed and could not use his legs properly yet he was
moving himself along one bit at a time. The sight broke my heart and
all I wanted to do was to help, but I had nothing to give. I wish I
could have been his angel and provided him with everything he needed.
Now all I can do is pray that God will help him.
This put my 3 hour drive into different
perspective. I had a car and I have legs that can carry me when they
need to, so why was I complaining? It definitely helped me keep my
attitude in check for the day.
We used to sing an old song, “when
upon life's billow's you are tempest tost, when you are discouraged
thinking all is lost, count your many blessings name them one by one,
and you'll be surprised at what the Lord has done!”
Let's remember to count our blessings
today!
