Have you ever wondered?

The world we live in is an awesomely crazy and confusing one too. Have you experienced certain moments which we end up taking for granted at times? Moments which make one feel all the more humble when made to face the vastness of this world of which we seem to be just another speck. Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered if somebody else in this huge world was staring up at it at exactly the same time as you? Have you ever cried and thought that probably another person on the other side of the world was wiping away a tear at exactly the same time as you? When you probably prepare yourself to go to sleep, someone else prepares to start a brand new day. When you are probably out with your friends having the time of your life, somebody is struggling to survive a minute longer.

This world seems like a crazy jig-saw puzzle and all of us are nothing but pieces of the puzzle. All our moves have been pre-planned and all events of our lives have been chalked out from the time of our birth and till our death. We meet people for a purpose and when the purpose has been fulfilled, we move on. Have you wondered how at times you can know a person for years together and still not know their various idiosyncrasies while yet at other times you come across people who you meet for the first time but still feel like you have known them all your life? Life is full of a million meetings and goodbye’s and if you think that some point you get used to saying goodbye, you’ll only be fooling yourself. As you mature, it only gets harder but it’s a way of life.

There was this one time when I needed to cross the road in my childhood, I used to be terribly afraid of crossing roads and there was this one time when I needed to do so. Out of the blue an old man caught hold of my hand and helped me reach the other side. I was so thankful and relieved on reaching the other side but by the time I turned around to thank the man, he was gone. I can never forget that one incident. How somebody gets sent for someone all the time. Haven’t we all experienced such things? Just when we think it’s the end of the road for us and we can just see the walls crashing in on us, someone comes along, takes us by the hand and the next thing we know, a new chapter of life begins right then. This is where the story of ‘foot prints n the sand’ comes in and we realize we are never really on our own, in fact we are more protected than ever during times of trouble. It’s just amazing how we will never be made to go through things we don’t have the strength to go through and He goes through those things before us and all we have to do is follow!
