Dear Friends,
Today’s food for thought is Plain wash or Drycleaning.
Many of us have been through times in life when we wash our clothes at home or if needed, send them to the laundry for dry cleaning.
It is also very true in life that sometimes we as humans have to go in for a plain wash, where life seems to be lovely and fine or Dry cleaning where sometimes we are put through many trials and problems but come out stronger and cleaner and learn more than those who just go through a plain wash.
John, my good friend, was a habitual drinker and also used to be sometimes with a hangover in the office, took life easy, but things changed when he was in trouble for drinking and driving as was in the Jumeirah jail for 1 month, where by he lost his job and life became a crush on him.
That 1 month in the cooler, changed his entire settings which gave him a thorough dry cleaning and when he came out he realized what had happened and came to his senses.
He gave up drinking totally as if he was touched by a lightning bolt, and the news of this drastic change reached his company which had terminated him earlier, and coming to know of what life he was going through, kept him back on a one month observation as he was an excellent worker when sober, and saw that he had indeed changed and was no more the John who used to be a drinker, but he was now a gentleman and worked more harder and diligently than before and now John has his job back, with a job raise and has realized that sometimes its good to go for a dry cleaning instead of a plain wash.
So friends, when sometimes you are faced with sudden out of the blue trials and problems, do not be afraid, God is just dry cleaning you, just hold on to your faith and in what you believe, and you will be victorious and be sure that when people see you and meet you, they will say “ Wow”.
Wish you all a successful day.
Best Regards
