MEANING OR MEANINGLESSNESS

(These One A Days are added to each new day)

During World War II, a Spitfire pilot awoke one morning deciding he didn’t want to fight anymore. He knew that many of his comrades weren’t terribly enthused either about rushing into the wild blue yonder to be shot down and killed. But that had nothing to do with his decision. He wanted to stay alive and he didn’t care how he did it. So he devised a clever plot of self-preservation that would also get him declared a hero in the process.

He was a good pilot and so he was reasonably sure he could ditch his plane and survive. Therefore, during the next dogfight he simply put his plane in a dive, flattened out just before hitting the water and was soon safely floating in his life raft while death raged in the clouds above. Men were dying but he was safe. It had worked out exactly like he had planned it. Picked up by the French Resistance, for two days he was treated as one bigger than life. On the third day, he shot himself. He had been given the gift of Time and he blew it.

There are times in life when our decisions need heavenly help and guidance; the strength of heavenly wisdom and patience before leaping toward disaster.
