One day my two sons and I got into my old car to drive to the local post office. I backed out of my drive slowly like I normally do and then pulled to a stop at the side road that leads to the main highway. When it was clear I pulled out and stepped on the gas. As I stepped on the clutch(离合器)and tried to shift into second, though, I immediately knew that something was wrong. The normally solid gear shift(档位杆)now felt like a spoon in a bowl of soup. I tried quickly to get <u>it</u> to lock into any of the gears but did not succeed. Thankfully, the steering wheel(方向盘)was still working fine and I allowed the car to go to the end of the side road where I was able to pull safely into a wide spot and turn the engine off.
It was only later in the day that I finally realized how blessed I had been. I could have been on the main road when that stick shift failed. I could have been in the middle of a curve with no place to turn off the road. I could have had a car too close behind me that wouldn’t have been able to stop in time. A hundred things could have made this incident dangerous or deadly. Yet, the gear shift broken at just the right moment to keep me and my boys safe.
Far too often we only see the bad things in life. We get angry when things don’t go out way, and we fail to see the thousands of times that they do. Yes, my car broken down. Still, my sons and I are safe. We are loved. And we have been given more time here in this world to share our own love and light.
