She couldn’t remember a day in the office that had been as busy.
She was feeling completely overwhelmed. There were meetings to attend, minutes to type up, reports to send out, emails to answer, accounts to check, numerous spread sheets to update, and, naturally, endless phone calls.
She turned her face to the window and squeezed her eyes shut. In her head, she shouted, for pity’s sake make it all stop! The phone rang.
When it was time to leave, she joined the rush to get out of the carpark. She battled her way through the crowded city traffic and finally entered the freeway. As she entered, a sign lit up saying, ‘EXPECT LENGTHY DELAYS”.
Within minutes the traffic in all lanes came to a complete halt. Everything had stopped. In the distance she could see a bunch of red flashing lights.
Within just a few short moments her frustration melted away to a sense of pure tranquillity.
Her prayer had been granted.
