Have you ever had one of those moments in your everyday routine that all of a sudden hits you like a ton of bricks and becomes a life lesson? Well, I just had one of those. The light in our closet burned out. It was quite dark in there. I've never really liked the lighting in our closet. It's too dark. After the light burned out I was a little miffed, because I could swear that I replaced it with a CFL just a few months ago. I thought to myself, "See if I buy those lights again. Five years my !&%…." Needless to say as I unscrewed the ballast and noticed that there was not only one light, but two lights that were burnt out I knew why it was so dark. Hmm, I thought, no wonder it was so dark. It was at this point that our Divine Maker gently tapped me on the shoulder and as I turned around smacked me upside the head. It wasn't a mean smack more like a "Man, why did you assume? You know where that gets you" kind of smack. All too often, as least I, assume things are one way only to find out something completely different. How often do we miss opportunities in life because we were sure it was "A" and it was really "Z" and had we taken the time to slow down and not assume things we would have been so much better off.
Just some food for thought. Do you have one of those "assuming" stories? Share it here and lets talk.
