Be Prepared

I spoke to a very old man in my Karoo pastorate this morning, who had been taken to a hospital outside the Karoo for attention. It was serious, they said, there was nothing they could do, and they were sending him home. But oh, he said, he was so looking forward to getting home, his bags were packed, and he was "quite OK with it", whatever tomorrow may bring. OBSERVATION: This is an example of a man who is prepared. His attitude shows, too, that it is possible to be prepared. Some people, even in old age, reach such moments and there is terror, dismay, or panic.
