TRUE LIFE SITUATIONS: NEGLECTING RESPONSIBLITY OR MENDING FENCES (497 hits)
NEGLECTING RESPONSIBLITY or
MENDING FENCES
It's been almost two months since an irresponsible driver came by on New Year's Eve and wrecked a car which destroyed three sections of my wood pickett-fence. Then,.. only I discovered the car's driver was not the owner of the vehicle. I have since did some repairs to my fence; but noticed, I haven't heard one ounce of word from the responsible person of the car, nor- the none caring driver who ran off and left the car sitting in between my fence's boards. I questioned, "If it were I; wouldn't I do the responsible thing and take care of the err of my ways? So, now I am faced with pursuing some kind of compensation for another's action. It's disturbing to me that I would have to try to make another person or persons live up to what they have caused in somewhat a kind of suffering to another's life. Even though I realize things could of been worst off, I am thankful they were not. I'm considering to forgiving and letting it go, but you'd think that others would be more responsible...and think --What if it were "them" whose fence I had destroyed? Would they too; turn the other cheek on me? This is an example in true life situations and it is better for me that I would rather mend fences than neglect my responsibilities.
"If I then, your Lord and Teacher have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet." For I have given you an example that you should do as I have done to you." --John: 13:14-15
