My First Hitch

The coziest and best ride I’ve ever had was when I was on my way to my Nurse’s oath taking at SMX Mall of Asia yesterday. With all my make-up being baked under the fiery sun of a hot summer noontime while on my all-white nure’s gala uniform, I couldn’t help but beg  for a knight on shining armor who would save me and bring me to SMX hastily and swiftly. But the least I could expect was to have an available taxi with a really good aircon. The sad truth is there’s always a scarcity of available taxi whenever you’re in badly need of it. I wonder why?

        I was already teasing my friend that I would ask for a ride whenever a good looking car would pass us by. I have never done it before but in a desperate moment, I know it’s not impossible for me to dare doing it. I was in the middle of my wishful thinking when a good samaritan woman opened her car carriage’s window and called out to me. My friend thought she would just ask us about something, a direction perhaps. As for me, I knew she’s a heaven sent. She came just the time I needed a miracle.

         The good woman asked me if we were going to MOA. That very moment my heart jumped in joy. I knew she’s about to offer a ride since she had an idea that we were inductees going to MOA. When she did, I said the most excited and liveliest thank you I could ever give. I instantly folded my umbrella, called out to my friend, opened the door  and went inside the car. That was indeed the most exciting ride I’ve ever had! May God bless accordingly for her good heart.She gave me my first hitch!

          To extend my heartfelt gratitude, I spent my time inside her car talking to her and the driver. In my surprise, I found some links between us that helped facilitating our conversation. I really thanked God for those. God’s simple blessings become so exciting  when they come in surprising ways.
