THE SPEED BUMP
By John Kerr

            I was in the emergency room in the Brookville hospital for a couple of days.  They stored me in the “large” room at the end of the hall.  It was pretty nice.  Good food, a little place to set up my office, and a good view of the hallway where all the action takes place.  There is a small difference in the level of the floor from the old building to the new building.  I named it the speed bump.  When they would bring people down the hall on a gurney or in a wheelchair the patient was jolted.  I could tell how much pain they were in by how much they would wince.

            We all have speed bumps in life.  They can be anything from sitting in traffic waiting for construction to major health issues – things that slow us down and call us to pay attention.  We all face them differently.  Some folks seem to take everything in stride and others are upset over the smallest events.
 
            The Scripture calls us to be aware of others.  Take your time, slow down and really listen.  Don’t just think about what you are going to say instead of listening with a caring heart to what they are going through.  This is the command to love each other.

            I Corinthians 12:21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
