What You are Missing by Jacki Sellmansberger
I didn’t get to go to my grandson’s 1st birthday party last week. Bob and I were flying out Thursday evening to Wyoming. Our bags were packed and our “ticket” was in hand. We arrived at the airport in plenty of time. We had done our part to get there. What was the problem then? Too many people all wanted to go to Salt Lake City, and Bob and I fly “standby” because our son works for the airlines. We’ve never not gotten on a flight eventually, but this just wasn’t to be! I was upset, angry at all those people “taking my seat,” and so disappointed!!!
As we sat at the airport trying to re-work our flights, we moved to a smaller, quieter area so Bob could work on the laptop. I just sat there feeling sad and lonely, knowing in my heart that we wouldn’t be leaving Atlanta last weekend. As I sat there, I noticed an older gentleman sitting all hunched over by himself. Every now and then, he would look up. He was dressed very poorly, and I was certain he was spending the night in the airport to get out of the rain. Once he got up to use the restroom, and as he walked, you could see that he was probably in pain, of some sort. In my heart, I knew I had to do something to encourage this elderly man on a cold, rainy night. I told my husband I knew I was supposed to give this man whatever was in my wallet.
After resigning ourselves to the fact we were not catching a flight to Wyoming that night, we got up to go home. As we left the airport, I handed the man my gift. I’ll never forget the look on his face and the beautiful smile and “thank-you” he gave us! We’ll never know “his story” or how he used the money, but I do know this, it changed my outlook last weekend. I was disappointed. I had missed something special, but I wasn’t missing out on LIFE! This week as various circumstances have come up that made me less than happy, I have thought back to that elderly man, and realized I am indeed a blessed woman!
Welcome back, Staci Herring(2nd grade)! I’m sure she has a picture or two of her new little boy she’d love to show off! Wedding Congratulations to Zilha Besic Junazovic(1st grade). Lauri Michael (2nd grade) could use a little encouragement as she “hobbles” down the hall in her boot cast. Greg Staples’ father-in-law is seriously ill, and the family would appreciate our thoughts and prayers. Continue to remember others in our Nesbit Family as they deal with various illnesses and struggles. Look for ways to be an encouragement to all you pass in the hall. We are all disappointed with something we are missing in our lives today!
