Signs

A friend, Susie, from Jakarta, Indonesia, relayed a story to me the other day. I think we can all relate to traffic and being stuck in traffic. Well, in Jakarta traffic is a driver’s nightmare. I’ve been there and I can tell you it’s quite a sight to see. You can’t imagine how aggressive these drivers are as they fight for their piece of the road, like it was a matter of life and death.

Susie, who was stuck in this traffic on her way home, found herself behind one of these guys’ that just drove you crazy. She started blasting her horn and screaming at the top of her lungs. Suddenly, a thought hit her like a ton of bricks as her eyes focused in on the license plate in front of her.

A few blocks from her home she decided to stop off and get something cool to drink. As she was paying for it, the numbers of the license plate flashed in her mind. She saw a lottery ticket and decided to use the numbers.

The next day she decided to see how her luck held up and checked the winning numbers. Low and behold, to her amazement her numbers came up winners. She didn’t win big money but she did walk away a winner in another.

Susie opened her eyes and removed the blinders covering them and recognized the sign before her. Good things await all of us, we only have to see them.
