So I was craving cereal like a mad person one day while I was at home but I only had milk in the house. So I put on my sneakers, shorts, and shirt and I went out to run to Ralph's so I could buy some cereal. It was the first time I ran in months and needless to say, I was exhausted. Then as my mind was filled with complanatory thoughts that my legs were fat and my legs were weak and my stamina was low, I saw a man with an electric wheel chair going about the same direction as I was but in an extremely slow manner. After I saw him, all thoughts of pain and junk stopped immediately. I gained new stamina and I appreciated every single ounce of pain that shot through my leg and lungs.
Funny how it takes an entire crippled man to help me realize that things should not be taken for granted. I ran another two blocks until both my legs and lungs gave out. Then I walked the rest of the way to Ralph's.
God, thank you for sending me the Wheelchair Man to remind me of your goodness in everything. Things that we never think of even though those things are a huge part of our lives. Thank you. I pray for healing in the Wheelchair Man's life.
