Stops Me In My Tracks
I didn't even know this pelican was in this sunset shot until after the fact! He was so quick and intent on getting his evening meal that he entered the frame, right when I clicked and "stopped him in his tracks" right in the rays of the sunset...such a pleasant surprise : )
And just like I "stopped him in his tracks" with my camera, this story below did the same for me.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
~Wow this story is gripping and a good reminder.~
A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call ASAP, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block.
He found the sick boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. Once seeing him, the dad yelled:
“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have the sense of responsibility?”
The doctor smiled and said: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came the fastest I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work.”
“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies, now what will you do??” said the father angrily.
The doctor smiled again and replied: "Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and pray for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”
“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy” murmured the father.
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy, “Thank God! Your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way, running. “If you have any questions, ask the nurse!!”
“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I could ask him about my son’s physical state”, commented the father when seeing the nurse just minutes after the doctor left.
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a car accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”
It's always wise to think twice before coming to conclusions about people because you never know what is going on in someone else's life and what they may be going through. (Author Unknown)

Such a powerful reminder to me, maybe it is to you too : )
