Solve a Problem

Notice the black tire marks. The guy in the picture had wheels a few inches wider than his truck frame. He slightly swerved and put a big circle on the door while driving down the highway.

Hey mister – I’m sorry … big tires just pulled your way. Me – I’m just glad it wasn’t worse. Hey mister – what do you want to do … I can buff it out. Me – how long will it take? Him – 3 minutes. Me – well you can see my answer.

I-75 near Lake City car buff and wax. Solving a problem and rollin down the road.

As I felt the breeze of traffic zooming I shared with my new friend … God has a design for our lives …. Like a lane of traffic ….

In a few minutes I am back on the road. My friend seemed encouraged by our conversation …. And I am just thankful … so thankful it wasn’t worse.

Solving problems and working things out are part of leaving a good legacy.

Leave a good legacy.

It is easy to find fault in others. There is a side of my family that is predisposed to being critical and judgmental. I can easily think and respond in those ways.

When I give the effort to be thankful … I am less critical. When I am thankful there is no room for judgment.

The older I get, the more I realize I only understood a part of the circumstances of my early years. My mom was a single parent from my mid teens. About 5 years ago the weight of her being single hit me. In all of my youthful gripes I had never realized how she provided a stable foundation for me to thrive.

In remembrance of my mom’s entrance into God’s presence, I am thankful.

I am thankful for the stable foundation my mom gave me to stand on … and so are her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Leave a stable foundation for the next generation.

Leave a good legacy.
