I usually say
that you Never Know What You
Have Until It's Taken Away. Appreciate what you have, before time
teaches you to appreciate what you had.

| The car |
I’ve continued to appreciate
what I have and I’m doing it more than before.
Here is my story:
My car broke down two weeks
ago and I have been without it since, that means I’m back to public transport.
We all know how our public transport system works – it’s more like we need them more
than they need us. (Okay,
that is debatable)
On Monday I decided to wake up
very early after a long time since I used a public transport to work. The
reason was because I knew that its was going to take me a long time to get to
work, since I have to take two taxis before I reach my destination, on that
morning I had to honour my
1st alarm at 5:45 because usually I snooze it and the ones that follows at
6:00, 6:15 and 6:30 until I wake up at 6:45. (Don’t act surprise you know its
difficult to wake up sometimes)
By 6:15 I was done with
everything and ready to hit the road - but wait I’m forgetting something, what
is it? I paused for a while, moving slowly next to the garage I then remembered
that everyday before I start the car I thank God for another day but
this day it’s different anyway I started thanking Him as I walk along the street.
From the complex yard that is
where I get a taxi. I step out of the boom gate immediately the taxi was
waiting for me. Phew! God is great I smiled, and futhermore interesting was that
the taxi was heading straight to my destination which means that I didn’t have
to reroute to the second taxi - Now God is Awesome!!! Before I knew it I was at work
before 7am.
It was my first time to arrive at work this time (except the second day after signing the contract trying
to make a good impression) nonetheless I was the first person to arrive at our
department - yeaahhhh. That sounds good but the sad part was that I had to
switch on the lights (like I know where the switches are, I always find
the lights on) and also switch on the aircon. The place was very strange
without the sounds of keyboards and all kinds of funny ringtones but I got an
early start.
In summary my day 2 (two) was a little bit different from day
one since I miscalculated the taxi on the first day. I woke up late, had to
call someone from work to come and fetch me up from the taxi rank which then made me to arrived at work extremely late.
And now I appreciate my car that takes me from point A to B everyday. That
goes to every resource that I have, it doesn’t matter how small or big it is Appreciate it before time makes you to appreciate it even more.
Above all: give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 136
Love you all.
