I had sprained my ankle doing something that wasn’t well-thought-through. This took place somewhere around eight-years-old and it put me on crutches for the first time. There were no instructions given with the crutches or advice from those who once needed their support.
My first effort in climbing the stairs went without a hitch. However, my descent was a totally different matter. From the top, I placed the wooden supports on the first step and thrust my body forward. I cleared that second step by a foot (no pun intended) and found myself airborne without a parachute. Needless to say, the healing was much prolonged and added injuries that didn’t help the situation.
My application is – do you really know where the next step is going to place you? Wouldn’t it be nice if you were certain of your next step?
When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble.
If you need a crutch, give it some thought.
