The story I wanted to share with you started on the evening of the 31st of October 2017. My husband misplaced his bank token and only noticed this when he needed to do an online banking transaction. He looked everywhere in the car and in the house to no avail. He was so worried throughout the night and woke up the next morning with the same feeling. As he stepped out the following morning, entered his car and noticed he could not find his cell phone. He came back in and started looking for it. He asked if I saw it in the kitchen. This conversation ensued.
Hubby: Did you find my phone in the kitchen?
Me: No. Go and check the room.
Hubby: I checked and its not there.
Me: Did you check the car?
Hubby: Yes I did.
Me: Go and check the car again.
Within 5 minutes, he was so confused and so was I; looking everywhere in the kitchen including the micro wave. Nowhere was spared as the adage that says ” when you misplace any belonging you look for it at the oddest place”. He came back in after a minute and said to me: I found my phone in the pocket beside the driver’s seat of my car and guess what! I found my bank token beneath my phone in the same spot. He was so happy and left for the day. From this I learnt the following
- Sometimes you get into confusion because God wanted to give you a solution. If not for the phone, the token may not have been found till nobody knows when.
- Sometime a journey may be delayed to relay a message, and if we listen may avoid a dismay. Nobody knows what calamity has been averted on the way.
- We cannot achieve or get anything done at our own time and on our own terms. It has to be when and how the supreme wants it to happen.
- Life cannot be lived smoothly every day without a challenge, no matter how small. This changes our lives for the better every day.
Always look for the positivity in any negative situation and the results will be a positive attitude to life.
Our Lord! Give us the inner eye to see and internal ear to hear amen.
