Appreciation

I gotthis story from someone close to me. He went on a trip to his hometown far away Delta State, on his way back the bus on which he was traveling had some problems. It got fixed and they continue the journey, not long after, the bus tire went off while on a high speed. God saved them. But sure, everyone would start conplaining of how far they would have gone instead of be held up on the road. According to him, he told other co-travellers that they should not travel on the same bus again, and so the transport company was called for another bus, request the transport company granted. So the journey continue, on their way they met a robbery scene, where about three persons were killed and others robbed. He remembered how they had wasted time behind and imagine what would have become of them if not for the issues they had with their vehicle.

So when I travelled this weekend as well and was caught up in a traffic on Akure-Ife Expressway, I remembered the testimony of the young man and encouraged myself that, instead of complaining I rather thank God, because I do not know what is in the offering ahead if I happened to get further fast as I would really have wished. So I am encouraging us to always appreciate God, in any situation, we find ourselves and believe him for the best of the situation. It does not matter what religion you belong to, God protects us all, in different ways.
