My son was the chief nurse officer at Wyoming Medical Center when they brought in a police officer shot in the line of duty. In spite of the hustle and bustle of being a hospital administrator, David took it upon himself to spend some quality time with the wounded policeman.
Time traveled on and my grandson was speeding through Casper when he was pulled over by the same city cop. The officer looked at his license and noted, “Gardner. Is your dad David?”
The embarrassed offender replied that he was.
The officer said, “Give me your phone.”
He then called David and started the conversation with, “This is officer so and so. I have your son pulled over here for excessive speed. Do you want me to handle it or will you handle it?”
With appreciation, David responded, “I’ll handle it.”
This is the meaning of Ecclesiastes 11:1
Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.
Be good when you have the opportunity, for someday the favor will be returned.
Give it some thought.
