Who is packing your parachute?
Air commodore Vishal was a jet pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.
After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said "You're Captain Vishal! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Vishal.
"I packed your parachute," the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today.
Vishal couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. he wondered how many tomes I might have seen and not even said "Good Morning, How are you?" or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker"
So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.
We need many kind of parachutes when our plane is shot down - we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, and the spiritual parachute, financial parachute, time parachute.
Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason
As you go through this day, this week, this month, this year or the years that have gone by, recognize the people who pack your parachute.
