A Smokestack

Today my mom had a doctor appointment about 25 minutes away. It seemed like we would never get there. As we headed down our normal route, there was some road construction and the traffic was backed way up. After waiting a while, I made a u-turn and took a different route. That seemed to work out OK. I intended on dropping my mom at the front door so she could go right in. When we arrived at the office – which is right next to the busy hospital – there were 2 small transport buses parked on either side letting people out. We were actually stopped behind another bus waiting for their turn to pull in. There was a little juggling of the vehicles so the bus in front of us could make his way into the entrance, but that was it. The parking lot was jam packed and behind us at this point, so I got as close as I could and my mom got out. I made sure she made it across the street safely to the sidewalk where the door was. Then I headed through the hospital parking which was just as crowded. I went around the block to try it again. I drove through the lot of the doctor’s office and there were still people waiting for someone to leave so they could park somewhere. Then I spotted the parking garage and figured it was probably my best bet. I was happy to see some open spaces – until I saw the “Reserved For . . . ” signs. So I continued up, and up, and up to the roof. By this time, I was elated to find a parking spot up there. As I walked to the elevator, I saw a large smokestack in front of me protruding up from the other side of the parking garage. I looked up and saw that there were 4 crosses painted along the top. My frustrations vanished and I could feel myself smile. To me, it was a little reminder that God is in every situation. Oh, and my mom’s doctor appointment went great.

I Found God today in a reminder that God is in every situation.
