What Would You Do?
What would you do? There are many difficult situations in life that a person may come across. I just recently saw in the news that a mom shot a person that was breaking into her house. She's a new mom and she was just protecting her baby, right? I'm not going to condone or condemn her because of what she did. I've never been in the situation where I had to decide if I should take someone's life. There's no telling what that person that was breaking in would do, but I'm sure if he's breaking in, they weren't good intentions. I just wonder if that person breaking in just needed a word to stop what he was doing. Is that possible? What if he just need to hear that he didn't need anything in that house before he was trying to break in? Something as simple as that could have changed his life. Sometimes all we need is a little attention, and that could mean the difference between life and death. Now, on to a different scenario.
What if you were committed to someone or for about 5 years? What if you poured your heart out and were deeply committed to someone, and then come to find out that they ended up cheating on you anyway? Would you be able to control yourself and be the bigger person and just walk away, no matter how hard it was? Or would you take the matter into your own hands and maybe break the law just to make you feel justified? That's another hard one to answer because you're dealing with emotion. For most people, I would hope they would be the bigger person and just let it go, because it's not worth it. Maybe you need that slap in the face to realize that your better off without what you have at that time.
What if you were committed to a job for that amount of time? Sure you had your ups and downs at work, but you were always committed. What if you experienced nothing like what you had before at that job? I think that it would be great. What if you actually get along with everyone at that job? Man, that would be awesome also! what if after the 5 years of trips, extra activities, picnics, Christmases and all of the fun stuff, it was time for you to go? Now, what if when you were almost gone, it seems like it's just business as usual even though you know that you might never see any one of these people ever again? What if after all of the maybe 100+ friends that you've made, only about 6 of them actually said that they would miss having you there? How would that make you feel? Angry? Sad? Maybe to some people it might actually be a relief. Who knows? I'm sure it would make some people feel under appreciated. Maybe you weren't perfect at work, but you were there, committed and ready to do anything on the fly. Maybe you didn't have all of the best ideas, but you always had the best interests of the company in your heart. Then, what would you do? Would you just go on with your life and be angry? Or, would you pray about it? Maybe you would actually confront the people that you thought would say something....anything, just to let you know that you will be missed.
I know that in most situations, if you leave it in God's hands, and keep a clear head, everything usually handles itself.
Life happens and it's how you deal with it that determines the person that you are. It determines your legacy.
