I had just returned from a movie, parked my car and all, when I noticed that my neighbor couldn't park his car in because there was something wrong with his auto gate. Feeling like a good samaritan, (oh how typical of me) I quickly ran over to open the gate so that he need not get down.
Deed done, so I scrambled off home for shelter. It was only when I was inside the house that I noticed that the gate closed itself (darn wind) and that he had already gotten out of the car armed with an umbrella. With much self-shame, I cursed myself and stumbled upon an epiphany.
Goodwill alone is not enough.
Perhaps this is a reminder from Him to see. things. through.
