Out & About
The Dragons in our lives!
****************************************
I was walking through my favourite shopping
centre
at Parkway Parade when I saw a large
crowd of onlookers goggling at this huge sand dragon
on the floor. I grabbed my camera out of my
bag and made several shots, this one turning out the
way I wanted.
In life, how many dragons do we face but turn
away
because we're afraid of what might happen?
Take a
look at the little boy at the far left upper corner of
the photograph who's standing with both hands in his
pockets. He seems to be saying, "Uhhh...I'm not
really frightened of you, so I'll show you so by
putting my hands in my pocket in a casual attitude!"
You can bet that he's really not quite sure of it!
Have a look at the woman in the brown
sleeveless t-shirt
who's standing in front of her male companion.
Hmmm...she seems to be saying, this thing looks a
bit scary.
And finally, take a look at the boy in the bottom
left hand side of the picture who's wearing a red t-
shirt. He's got his
arms across his body, and he seems to be
saying, "Awww...this thing looks a
bit scaaary, I'd better go away!"
The point is, how many dragons do we face in
our lives that we're not equipped to face? As
leaders of our journey in life, have we equipped
ourselves to face the fears and pitfalls of
disappointments and failures? Are we truly hardy
enough to keep on going when the going gets tough?
Often we get stopped by things outside of
ourselves. Or so we think. We really are only
allowing the dragons inside of ourselves to stop us.
Let's be like St George, prepare to meet our
dragons in life head-on, kill them, and get on
with our life's mission!
