Surprises 2

Life is filled with surprises and I have had my fair share of them. Imagine going to a friend’s funeral and months down the line, you end up marrying his widow. Yes, that has happened to me. Imagine after fifty-six years discovering you had a brother you never knew you had. Yes, that has happened to me. Imagine going to school with someone you never remember speaking to and then fifty-one years later they become your best friend. Yes, that has happened to me. Imagine this friend introducing you to a friend of theirs and between them both turn your life around. Yes, that has happened to me. Surprises happen when you least expect them, they can happen anytime anywhere. You can never predict when they will occur, they just happen for a reason, a reason for which we are never sure. However, never turn your back on them; count them as a blessing that might never come again. 5 October 2009
