Imagine you’re in a small boat floating in a crystal clear lagoon. The sun dances on the calm water, and all is well. Bam! Suddenly something hits your boat from behind. You whirl around, and anger rises as you see that it is another small boat.
But the boat appears to be empty. Where do you direct your anger? Toward the idiot who forgot to tie up their boat? The current?
You then notice a tarp in the boat that appears to be covering something. Curious now, you board the little vessel and pull back the tarp.
Your eyes fall upon the most beautiful child you’ve ever seen. It looks up at you with innocent eyes, and you only want to scoop the child into your arms.
Where is the boat now? You’re no longer focusing on the boat. Where is the anger when this boat delivered such a gift? You feel only gratitude for such an unexpected delivery.
Everything that hits up against us is like that little boat delivering a precious gift. We miss it when we focus on our anger and condemnation and look for someone or something to blame. If we are willing to look deeper, beyond what appears to be the challenge, we will see it’s covering a gift. They are always delivering gifts…no matter how it might seem on the surface.
