An eye opening experience

Well, I finally experienced it. Yep I had my first, probably not my last, big fall while trying to maneuver in a parking lot. I wasn’t surprised by this at all as my doctors and therapists had prepared me to fall but I was surprised at the reaction of my fellow human beings. As I laid on the cement in the parking lot trying to figure out what to do next, 4 different vehicles drove past me, looked at me lying on the ground and never looked back. I couldn’t believe it! Where was the compassion and caring that we should all show to our fellow man. My immediate thought (after my anger subsided) was “Wow, they need to hear about Unleash.” Needless to say, I am ok. My knee was cut and my pride bruised, but once my therapists came out to get me (thanks to my cell phone) I shook it off and did my therapy. Later that evening I was pleasantly rewarded by God’s faithfulness. Luke dropped me off at the entrance to the mall so we could go to a movie. As I approached the door a young man of 19 or 20 walked quickly past me. At first I thought that he was being impatient but then I realized it was not that at all. He had hurried ahead of me to hold the door and he began a conversation asking how my day was, what I was going to see and such. This young man didn’t know it but he had just restored my belief that there really are people out there who know what it means to show kindness and compassion to their fellow beings. May God’s blessing be upon the heart and the life of this young man and all who Unleash on those in need.
