Day 19: Slow Down

Tears fill my being
as I think about the plumber
who was recently at my home.
He first apologized for taking 5 days to get back to me,
because the day he left my home to first access the issue
his wife was in a horrific car crash
and they were fighting now to save her leg.
He apologized in the midst of his pain
when it wasn't even an issue for me
but for him it was.
As he shared his heart
as he was holding a pipe that he was replacing,
he still made it an issue to fix it,
as his eyes were filled with tears
that he was trying so hard to hold back.
I was stopped in my tracks.
I asked if I could PRAY for his wife
Sharon.
It was a surreal moment
a GOD appointment,
that was a moment
etched on my heart
