It was the middle of the week when I decided to get up early to go to work maybe have coffee beforehand and have an easy day. It was an uneventful day till I got to the train station to get to work when I saw chaos at its finest. People were panicking as they realized that there were no trains going downtown due to a power failure. I, of course was in the same boat as many. I worked downtown and the only way to get there now was to take the shuttle (which would be impossible seeing as to how many people were stuck and will be trying to get on it) or to drive. So I messaged a coworker that the trains weren’t working and lucky enough she replied saying she could drive us. Then of course it starting to rain. Long story short, 3 pit stops later (to pick up a few more coworkers), 2 hours stuck in traffic, we finally arrived, soaking wet and super late. It was a good day. And as if that wasn’t enough, as the day went on, its as if the universe was conspiring, almost all of the people who came to my counter at work either had difficult questions or just being a pain. I was stressed out and I almost had enough, when this man came in and sat at my counter, he was blind and was accompanied by what seemed like his father. For some reason, I felt so at ease and at peace round him. He was soft spoken and was patient as he fumbled his way to my counter. His gentle manner was refreshing even as he was struggling to find his ID and his other stuff. His ever patient father was just as gentle trying hard to help him but at the same time, giving him space to deal with these things on his own. At the end, when they were about to pay, the father said “I got this”. ” Anything to get you started”.
At that moment I realized, no matter what we go through in life, our Father in heaven, He’s go this. As long as we let him. Ow an also, when was the last time we thanked Him for giving us the most “BASIC” things that we think we are entitled to like our eyes, hands and feet. Most of the time, we just forget that these are gifts given to us and we are very lucky to have them. So when the going gets tough, be thankful especially for the things that we overlook. This will make you realize how lucky you are.
