Testimony Tuesday

Many years ago, I used to work with a person from a very different part of the world. I made terrible fun of this person because even on the hottest days of the year, person would spend lunch breaks in a HOT car. Windows up, asleep. For reasons I never understood and honestly, didn’t care to understand.

Now days I find myself doing something similar. Spending my lunch breaks sitting in a warm\hot-ish car, windows partially down; I need that cross breeze. On super hot days, I may only stay for 5 minutes. But here I am doing the same behavior I found odd enough to make fun of, in someone else.

The office I work in feels like a meat locker to me. We worked in an office together back then. So I’m sure while I was comfortable, the other person was freezing.

I have even set a timer just incase I fall asleep. On cool days when the temp inside my car hits that sweet spot, the tentacles of sleep wrap around me and pull me in. As I’m sure sleep seduced my former co-worker.

I’m thankful for the meat locker. It keeps a roof over my head.

I’m thankful for the car. It gets me from point A to point B. And is a warm place to thaw.

I’m thankful for the lessons. May I keep learning.

God is great all the time. Even when it takes years for the lesson to materialize.
