IN THE CEMENT MIXER by Steve Goodier
Did you ever have a day like this? A man, cleaning one of those big cement trucks, got caught in the mixer. He climbed into the mixer with a hose to flush out the remaining cement when his hose caught on a lever and pulled it to the "on" position. Suddenly, he found himself going round and round in the mixer with no way to escape! Slipping, sliding and banging around inside, all he could do was shout for help.
Fortunately, another worker came over and shut it off. In moments, a bruised and battered man, covered with wet concrete, emerged from the mixer. It reminds me of some days I've had….
Of course, no one ever said life is easy! But, as that incredible humanitarian novelist, Harriet Beecher Stowe, said, "When you get in a tight place and everything goes against you, until it seems as if you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time when the tide will turn."
If it feels as if you are in the cement mixer, do you need to hold on a little longer?
