I
had a gratitude check today here in Puerto Vallarta while driving back to the
hotel when I had to pause for a man who was struggling to cross the street.
He
was probably in his fifties and was traveling on a homemade cart that kind of
resembled an oversized skate board. Most of the lower half of his body was
missing. He was sweating as he pushed himself slowly along with two short sticks that he pushed
into the ground to propel the cart forward.
It
touches my heart when I see someone with his challenges struggling to do things
most of us take for granted – like the simple act of crossing the street.
While
I can’t recall being ungrateful for anything in years, seeing this man
emphasized the many blessings I have in my life.
Though life is not a comparison game, I believe we can all look at our lives and find others who don't have near the blessings we have.
