Tears fill my being
as I think about the plumber
who was recently at my home.
He first apologized for taking 5 days to get back to me,
because the day he left my home to first access the issue
his wife was in a horrific car crash
and they were fighting now to save her leg.
He apologized in the midst of his pain
when it wasn't even an issue for me
but for him it was.
As he shared his heart
as he was holding a pipe that he was replacing,
he still made it an issue to fix it,
as his eyes were filled with tears
that he was trying so hard to hold back.
I was stopped in my tracks.
I asked if I could PRAY for his wife
Sharon.
It was a surreal moment
a GOD appointment,
that was a moment
etched on my heart
as nothing mattered
but his heart and his heart for his wife
who was fighting for her life.
He came to my home,
as he was doing his job,
as he didn't know what else to do,
as the love of his life was being transported to a trauma hospital,
where he was going to meet her
after he replaced a silly little pipe at my home.
Was it all about my little pipe
or the "real" reason for my little broken pipe.
A moment to PRAY
for Tony's precious Sharon.
A hopeless helpless moment
that was a job for GOD.
What if my pipe wasn't broken?
What a missed opportunity for Tony to share his broken heart
and for GOD to enter into that moment,
that precious moment,
as every moment is precious
to GOD
no matter what moment we are living.
Can you stop right now
and be oh so very STILL
as you feel your lungs fill up with air and then be released.
What a miracle it is to breathe,
yet don't we forget
when other things
start to take our breath away~
whether it is the big life changing things
or the little itty bitty trivial things that strive to steal our peace.
Let's FAST from going so FAST
that we miss the miracle of our every breath
so that we see
GOD in every moment
and thank HIM
for giving us our first breath at our birth
and for HIS never giving up on us
because HE goes beyond just giving us life
as HE gives us ABUNDANT LIFE
in every moment
because HE took the time
to give us all more than we could ever imagine
all wrapped up in HIS SON.
Pray for Tony. Pray for Sharon. Pray for your loved ones.
Pray for yourself.
Never stop PRAYING
which is simply conversing with the ONE who has given you breath.
Slow down and FAST from going so FAST by
being so STILL to breathe in
