Omens

Every human’s soul cries to find its inner peace.  Every weary heart aches for a savior, a knight in shining armor; a champ, who’s going to save our souls and free us from our mundane worries. Whether this savior is a lover, a brother, a friend or a parent, it doesn't really matter because they all are the manifestation of God’s love and protection.

Today I took my usual run to clear up my head and ease my worries; I passed along an elderly couple. They smiled gracefully to me while I was sinking in tears of worry and anxiety. The serene look on their face assured me that it all will be alright even perfect. As I greeted and passed them, I finished my round and went back. On the way back I saw them again heading towards a beautiful place where there are lots of green lands, flowers and light.

I couldn’t help but take a picture of them as they were my inspiration of the day. I took my shot and went back running. Suddenly it started pouring rain. I still had a couple of kilometers to go. The aching body, the thirst, the hard wind, and the sweat all assured me that after each struggle there’s a something beautiful waiting for me. God always answer my prayers in many ways, I just have to listen.

I ran as fast as I could, with a head up high and a huge smile on my face, forgot about the aching body, the thirst and the soaked clothes I’m wearing. People in passing cars smiling back at me, waving with thumbs up, their car lights went on and off all encouraging. I was in ecstasy!

And just around the corner, without a prior notice, I saw my knight in shining armor - well a modern type though - with his black Peugeot waving to me to get in the car. That was my brother, my savior, God’s guardian angel.

So my friend, pursue your dreams and fight for your goal, for you’ve got only one shot in this life time, only ONE! Let go of your worries and be sure, that after the struggle, the pain and the tears, Triumph is just around the corner! Just make sure you enjoy the ride :-)
