"Surprise! Surprise!!" were the only words that came to mind at a recent "airport" experience...
I will answer them before they even call to me.
While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers! (NLT)
This time, my curiosity kicked in. Yes, I had to wait to see how this all panned out and sure enough..."Surprise! Surprise!!" was just right - she came out and went to the door behind which she was sure she'd find the facilities she needed.
As I wrap this up, I'm smiling because I struggling to think up a lesson from this experience.
I guess for me it's simply the ability to take things in your stride. Some surprises are pleasant, others are not so pleasant. So you go through a door (or experience) that's not pleasant, open the door, walk out and move on to a better place - don't stay stuck.
I agree with Booker T. Washington that:
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life
as by the obstacles which he has overcome."
Surprise or not, take every experience in your stride...keep moving forward to your destination.
