Looking Back
|
The what if’s and what could have been’s. Have you ever had the chance to sit and think back on your life? The good. The bad. Our lives have been full of fork’s in the roads we have traveled. I can think of at least a dozen times in my life that something happened, or didn’t happen, and my life was forever changed. One in particular happened on December 19, 2013. The day I gave my life to Christ. Not long after that day, this happened... I work as a machinist. I spend eight or more hours a day in a shop with a few others. I was minding my own business and this feeling came over me. I started thinking about events in my life that could have ended badly. When I say badly, I mean I could have died. I felt I had to start writing. So I did. And as I wrote, I cried. At work. With others in the shop. I hid my face best as I could. I wrote what came to me. Or should I say, what was given to me. When I was done, I had written about the few times my life was spared. And at the end of those events, were the words… “That Was Me.” The one that remains vivid in my mind to this day happened forty years ago, when my Toyota pick up should have hit a telephone pole head on when I fell asleep driving home. But it didn’t. Why? I will explain more next time. People I recommend. |
