With life it often seems like we have just two choices to make - wrap ourselves in plastic bubble wrap to protect us from falls and pain. Or we can wear a crash helmet and keep charging on!
Actually, I think there is a third option – a little bit of bubble wrap, a crash helmet, and some time planning out what is in front of us.
There’s always gonna be stuff that knocks us for six! However, more frequently if we’d simply taken a pause before charging along, we could have spotted the issues, or busyness, and figured out a better plan or route!
While falling off my motorbike many years ago, I had time to consider my actions. I knew the accident was coming before it happened. SO, I did the best I could do to jump off the bike and brace myself to tuck and roll. It worked pretty well and was a low speed spill. If I’d had more time to prepare, I’d have got the registration plate of the car that swerved across my path.
But we rarely get as much time as we’d like when bad things happen. I wonder how many people have actually bought a fridge or washing machine in a calm manner, rather than running in, grabbing the nearest one, and rushing back out to squeeze it in the car for the made dash home!
Life can do this to us. We can’t prepare for everything. But, if we have a busy day ahead, we can take time out to be with God, slow down, hush and pause, and create a better plan of attack – from a place of peace!
Just a thought…
