Let's Hear It For Larry...Or God?

So I'm at the gym and I see this young man, Louie, and I don't know him, but he's outside with his eyes shut leaning back in his chair and soaking up the sun. I say "It's a beautiful day today."  And he replies, "God is good - sir!" Wow I think. I say, "Yes he is, my friend!"

God always gives me crumbs. I ask Louie if he was born with his disability or an accident. He says, "an accident, sort of..." Then he says, "I got shot in my spine." We talk and he proceeds to tell me,  "Sometimes in life we don't know why we're dealt with the things we're dealt but we accept them and find the best in them." Wow.
Then he said, "What do you find your greatest pleasure in - sir?" I say, "My kids, my relationships, etc., but what keeps me ticking is inventing, writing, and entrepreneurship." He said, "Could we talk because I have a clothing line I'd like to launch for wheelchair basketball players but don't know what steps I should take...." He asks if I'd call him in a few days. I said -  "Sure I will!"

Long story short appreciate life and soak it up. If you open your eyes God will give you a Louie too! As I walked off he said, "I told you - God is good - sir!"

I love life and any and all crumbs but this was a whole loaf that God smacked me in the head with. Thank you Louie! Or maybe thank you Uncle Louie Quijas for watching over me...I'm not sure but I'll take crumbs or loafs...but God is so good, soak it up!
