The Cab...
I called for a cab.
As I waited outside the shop,
tired and wanting to be home already. I saw a sleek shiny black BMW driving
towards me. I may have gone “nice car”
in my head and turned my back to it, as I didn’t want to be caught staring.
This sleek car slowed down and stopped right in front of me, with a very cute man, well dressed in a nice suit behind the wheels, “Joy?” he called out. Who
would have thought, that was my ride!
I cautiously got into the
back of the car. Not wanting to get too comfortable. The car had that wonderful
new car smell. I mean the cab company has nice cars, but mostly Toyota cars and
some other brands, but nothing this sleek. Some of the drivers speak good
enough English as they are a mixture of Asians, middle easterners and English fellows,
but none of the drivers looked like this one, or dressed like this one, or had
a hint of class when they spoke like this one.
I’m used to good things, I adjust
well to good things, I love good things… but when your cab or that good thing
isn’t something you expect, well… you tend to walk with caution and if you’re
not careful, loose out on maximizing the experience of the moment.
The cab driver asked a
question, which I timidly answered, with no hint
that I would be interested in more conversation… thus the default “beautiful
weather today” topic of conversation wasn’t even given the chance on the ten
minute drive home.
Who knows maybe that was my moment for one of those Hollywood
scripts to play out. I would take the conversation with him further and bam…
I’m in love with a rich heir, who was bored and decided to play the role of a
cab guy for the day. Blehhh
It was weird having to pay
him, and even weirder waiting for my change of a few coins, weird and awkward,
because leaving the change didn’t seem like a good option either.
I never came across that car
or its driver again, I’ve had a couple of drivers come regularly when I call
the cab company, but that seemed to be a one off.
Sometimes we call for help
and when it comes we ignore it, turn our backs to it, because it comes more
glamorous than we expect it to be, and so we doubt it, and cautiously accept
it, but we don’t enjoy it because we’re uncomfortable and expecting an “aha!” in our face any moment. We expect
it to be said that the joke is done, just when we get comfortable in this
comfort, so we rather sit pinched.
God usually gives us above
what we can ever ask or think… you think its too good for you? Then it’s God!
You think it could have been better? Think about it, its probably above what
you asked for. You think he could have been cuter? He comes high above your
hearts expectation or what you could have ever imagined. God gives us more than
we can ask or think… enjoy the blessings, be thankful in every situation
knowing it is more, because God’s involved!
Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the
[action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His
purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or
think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or
dreams]– Ephesians
3:20(amp)
Get into that cab and chill
like a boss, legs crossed, relaxed as you wiggle your butt comfortably on the
leather chair, feel good about it and enjoy the ride home.
