"The Panel-beater within"

Blessings to you Dear Friend,

"The Panel-beater within"

The recent weeks and months really kept me busy with my work, some big and some small projects but kind of all were happening in the same time. And during this period, just before I was heading to wrap up one of my big project, God Warned me that destruction will be coming to my way and I will have to deal with it.

So I remained to focus on the project but seeking all Guidance and Wisdom from Him.

And in one morning, just doing the normal routine things, getting ready to work, taking the kids to school, as I was pulling my car out of the garage and then closing the gate, I have noticed a really ugly bump on the left-front side of my car. Well, the bump was not there the day before, my better half were driving the car on that day and she never noticed anything. We drive a large family car so if you drive into something you would feel it but in this case she could not confirm anything. Voiding any further "domestic" argument about this (first destruction) I have decided to leave it and start rather think as to when and who will be doing the repair for me.

When I was alone in the car, I told the Lord that this is obviously part of the destruction He Was Warning me for and I said it further...."Lord, the way this car looks now is terrible, but Lord this is not my car, You Give me this car, and the only reason I have this car because you wanted me to have it. So Please Lord, sort this ugly bump out, I don't have money for this now, You know it and I know it. I trust you Lord."

Due to the nature of my work, I have lot of truck maintenance engineers working with me and of course everybody had an opinion as to how to resolve the bump on my car. Hence I left it, and every time I saw my car, I was curiously checking if the bump was still there. And it was.

About two days passed when one my colleague from truck maintenance ran into my office saying the following..."George, I need to hold on to to one of your arm, so I can get the same "luck" as you do. What are you talking about it?" I asked. And he said, "The bump on your car is gone." He said.

I smiled, for various reasons and we both went to look at the car. The bump was gone. The pushed in bumper was back at it's place where it should be. I did not arrange for repairs.

God left a little scratch on the car still, but just for as a reminder as to what really happened.

All Credit to the One and Only Living God.

What a Panel-Beater we have...

God Bless,

George.
