DECISIONS

Most of my inspiration often comes to me when I take time out for a long stroll outside.

It was late in the day when I stepped out on the porch. The sky looked absolutely awe-inspiring!

I immediately felt a sense of calm. I began to think about the past and my future. I remembered the various decisions I had made and know I am where I am today because of them.

My ability to make the right decisions all the time is not possible, however, I know I have the ability to make my wrong decisions right.

I acted hastily when I reprimanded Logan today.

My sense of fairness was not considered, therefore, I know I must apologize and make things right again.

It was not the action that took control, it was my reaction to the action.

CHANCE

“Tammy, it’s time to go to the hospital because we need to have Jeffery there by six o’clock this morning,” Alexander said.

“Alexander, I’m so nervous and afraid I can hardly breathe, ” Tammy spoke in a shaky voice.

“I’m feeling that way myself and wondering if we are doing the right thing.”

“We have to try for Jeffery’s sake because he does have a chance to add a little more to his world if it works,” Tammy said with a promising look.

“It’s time to remove the bandage from Jeffery’s eyes now and remember, it may take several days to find out the total success of the operation, but if he can see light, it could be very good news!” Dr. Marcus cautioned.

Jeffery sat very still and tried to concentrate on his breathing and he began to scream with excitement when he saw light for the first time in his young life.

Necessary Changes

I really miss coming here. We use to have so much fun swimming, eating and dancing,” Brianna said sadly.

“Yes, and now it looks bad and is not used the way it could be,” Gavin remarked.

“Why doesn’t the owner fix it up?” Brianna questioned. “It has so much potential.”

“Oh! The owner is going to make the necessary changes and it will become popular once again,” Gavin informed her.

“How do you know that?”

“Because it is sold and the new owner will make it a place where our community can enjoy the lake and facilities once again, but this time it will be an even better place to come have fun.”

“Who is it?” Brianna asked with a puzzled look.

“You, my dear, are looking at him!”

Brianna jumped up and down with excitement, grabbed him, and gave him a kiss he would never forget!

Another Day

The moment was extremely tense.

Hours and hours of practice became my weekly schedule. After all, the tournament was the most popular event of the year. It would last for several days.

However, the moment had come for me to prove how great a player I had become, yet, I could not do my best that day, even though I knew many people were counting on me.

Then, just as I was about to make another move, a beautiful white dove flew over the board and snatched up the timer.

People were running in all directions with hopes of catching the bird and it’s treasured timer.

I laughed in relief, and knew I had been given another day to prove myself.

Life Changer

Everyone knew the risks involved, but it was their job, their only livelihood.

Tucker and Drake entered the mine with their co-workers in anticipation of completing a section they were working on for several days.

They knew it would be a long day and a difficult one, but did not expect the tragic event that would change their life forever.

The explosion of one section caused a tremendous amount of dust and coal to tumble over the entire area.

Hours passed with silence and heartache for Tucker as he tried to crawl toward a small area where he felt a slight draft of air.

The rescue squad managed to pull Tucker and Drake from the rubble, but Tucker lost the sight in one eye, and Drake’s legs were severely damaged and only three other survived among the fifteen miners.
