JUST TO LET GO OF “CERTAIN PRACTICES!” (Let Sin Fly Out Of your Life!) Every now and then I appreciate the fact that God has given me so many friends. A number of those who are close to me, are from communities which are of different cultures from mine. I have friends from #Pakistan, #Nigeria #Bahrain #India #Philippines #Bahamas #SouthAfrica &even #Kenya ! For instance, there’s this one good Indian friend of mine who one day bumped into me in town when I was driving home from work. He had earlier seen me shopping at a certain Shopping Mall &decided to wait for me just outside the Mall. Funny enough he almost missed me because I came out from a different Exit door but as he was still waiting, by chance he happened to see me driving from the packing area. After exchanging our formalities he quickly requested if I could give him a lift to city centre. I gladly accepted since I was also heading through that way. So we drove off, engaging on heavy conversations about several subjects including politics, current market & sports! It was at this topic when I decided to let him do the talking because we had arrived at the cross roads junction & I could see there were some traffic police few meters ahead directing traffic at the next roads intersection that was ahead of us. I had to concentrate on my driving as I waited for the green light signal. The intersection was leading to a highway that was passing over a bridge. With this in mind, my total concentration was now on the steering wheel knowing that once the green light was on I had to accelerate &move since I noticed that the traffic behind us had accumulated gradually. Within few seconds, the green signal was on and I set the right gear &off the car zoomed. We were busy enjoying the sea breeze that was coming in through the windows which were halfway open then suddenly I noticed some small documents fly out from my friend’s shirts pocket all the way through the window and down all the,papers dropped into the sea. I was perplexed! I looked at my friend, looked ahead at the traffic police who was motioning me to speed up, then looked back at him again! Was I daydreaming? My friend didn’t even attempt to ask me to stop the car, in fact he carried on with the story he was narrating to me! Of course there was no way I could stop the car. We were right in the middle of a bridge and on a highway! Few minutes later I came to learn from my friend that what had flown out from the shirts pocket included some receipts, some substantial amount of cash and a cheque worth $75,000! All gone out of the car window within a blink of an eye! I was in great shock! I looked at him and asked him, “Do you want me to reverse the car..?” knowing very well in any jammed traffic reversing is and will forever be out of question! With a firm tone of voice my friend said, ” Hey Tina, I told you just take me to the hospital, I don’t have time for your questions or should I take a taxi!” I hurriedly and quietly drove him to the hospital without wanting to upset him any further. When we arrived at Aga Khan Hospital, as he was getting out of my car, he explained to me that he had received the cheque from his dad to pay for the release of their aged mother who was admitted at the hospital for three weeks now. The cheque was to clear up the hospital balance that day. As I dropped him off at the hospital gate, I asked my friend what he was going to do now that his money was gone and he briefly answered there was nothing he can do about the cheque and the $75,000 was nothing to him! After he had gone, I drove away with many questions in mind! How could my friend refer to his loss of $75,000 as nothing to him? Was he performing a ritual? Was it a religious sacrifice or just pure accident that he lost all that amount in just a few seconds? 🌾🌾🍃🌾🌾🍃🌾 1.Complaining 2.Stealing 3.Lying 4.Envy.. The list is endless. AS GOD’S CHILDREN LET GO OF “CERTAIN PRACTICES”. Let Sin Fly Out of you! Be Baptized by #Fire !
