DAILY MESSAGE.

I WANT TO BE IN THE CENTER

OF YOUR PLANS FOR MY LIFE,

LORD, KNOWING YOU HAVE

GIVEN ME EVERYTHING,

I NEED FOR WHAT IS AHEAD.

23/09/09

I PRAY EVERY DAY FOR OUR

TRANSPORT, WHICH BY THE

WAY STILL CONSISTS OF 1

VEHICLE WHICH HAS TO BE

SHARED BY 4 PEOPLE. MY

HUSBAND LET MY SON

AND MYSELF (I DON'T KNOW

WHY I HAVE TO ALWAYS GO ALONG,

BUT I SUPPOSE I AM THE FAMILY

GOFER), TAKE HIS (HUSBAND'S)

BAKKIE TO A GARAGE FOR A

QUOTE AFTER HE TRIED TO

FIX IT. THE BAKKIE HOPPED,

CUT OUT AND WENT 40 KM ON

LEVEL ROAD. WE EVENTUALLY

GOT TO THE GARAGE, BUT THE

PROBLEM WAS GETTING HOME.

PS: YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT, BUT

MY HUSBAND FETCHED THE

BAKKIE BACK TODAY AS THE

QUOTE WAS TOO HIGH.

IT WAS RAINING QUITE HARD -

OTHER DAYS THE SUN BAKES

YOU AND WE HAD QUITE DISTANCE

TO GET HOME. ON OUR ROUTE

THERE ARE HARDLY BUSES AND

THE ONLY OPTION WAS A TAXI.

MY SON WANTED TO WALK, BUT

I THOUGHT DAMMIT IF MY 79 YEAR

OLD MOTHER AND HER SISTER OF

68 YEARS CAN CATCH A TAXI

IN PORT ELIZABETH, WHY CAN'T

WE. WHEN THE FIRST TAXI CAME

PAST I JUST PUT UP MY HAND. (I

BELIEVE THERE IS CERTAIN WAYS

YOU HAVE TO FLAG THEM DOWN)

THEY STOPPED AND THEN WE HAD

A DISCUSSION OF WHERE WE WERE

GOING TO GET OFF. I WAS OFFERED

A SEAT FRONT AND MY RELUCTANT

SON WAS PUT IN THE BACK. I HUNG

ON FOR DEAR LIFE, BECAUSE MY

DOOR COULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY

AND WE WENT A QUITE A SPEED, BUT

WE GOT TO OUR DESTINATION IN

ONE PIECE.

COMMENT: WILL I TAKE A RIDE IN

A TAXI AGAIN? YES, YES, YES. IF

YOU DON'T TRY ANYTHING ONCE

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU

ARE MISSING. MY DOCTOR SAID

THAT HEART (I HAD A MITRAL VALVE

REPLACED IN 2007) AND HYPERTENSION

IS NOT TOO GOOD AND I AM A

POTENTIAL HEART ATTACK VICTIM.

I CAN'T SIT AND FEEL SORRY FOR

MYSELF - LIFE IS PASSING ME BY

AND THERE IS STILL SO MUCH I

WANT TO DO.

DO ME A FAVOUR: IF YOU HAVE NOT

TAKEN A TAXI RIDE - JUST GO FOR IT.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND GO

TO ANY HOSPITAL AND SEE HOW

THE PATIENTS ARE SUFFERING

THERE AND YOU WILL THANK

GOD THAT YOU ARE STILL ALIVE.

IF YOU EVER NEED A SHOULDER

TO CRY ON OR JUST SOMEONE

TO LISTEN TO YOU.
