Lisa, a young woman, was out driving in her native Brooklyn when her car died at a red light. Try as she might, she was unable to restart the engine. Soon, a long line began to form behind her.
A male driver, immediately behind her, was particularly impatient, honking his horn continuously.
Finally, Lisa got out, went to the driver behind and said: “I can’t seem to get my car started. Would you see if you can get it started for me? Don’t worry – I’ll stay here and honk the horn for you!”
We, as human beings, are sometimes confronted by individuals who don’t understand the situation we’re in. They are only concerned about their own little world and wear their blinders when out in public. Other people’s problems are not theirs and are only a nuisance, hindering their own progress.
It should not be that way with us who believe:
Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Give it some thought.
