Assalamualaikum
I often use this phrase 'I feel old' .... well, this is not true at all. I not only feeling old, I am practically old. Only an old lady would have dropped her pair of glasses from the top of her head unnoticed, and later rolled over it with her tyres. And that is me .... welcoming the new year, 2020.
I was in quite a rush yesterday evening, the gate wont open that I need to step out of the car, I walked closely to gate and summon the gate to open using my reduced-functioning key. When going out of the cold, air-conditioned car, the glass got misty, and I normally put it up on the head. And I am not sure when it happen, how it happen, but it must have dropped the glass to the ground in the process. And this Makcik Tua, unnoticingly, just get into the car and drive into the porch. I get out of the car and hurriedly into the house. After a while, then I realised that I need my assistant, the pair of glass. I searched all over, but could not find it. I even went to the car, search the floor of the car, when up to my room again, tracing my route after coming out of the car, and the dear assistant is still no where to be seen. I was devastated.
Alhamdulillah I do have another pair, the reading glass. Although it is not similar in power, it helps me to identify the alphabets, and even see the rice grains. Alhamdulillah. And at that time, I was still hoping that the glass is still in good condition.
This morning, at the wee hours in the morning, coming back from my 'trying-to-make it' routine fajr congregation, in the dim light, I saw something on the ground, right in front the gate. Yes .... my pair of glasses. Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rajiun. The carcass .... sob. sob. sob. My carelessness has cost me.
Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal .. Allah the Gracious has given us so much, and we should not be taken aback by this small misfortune.
Moral of the story:
1. Always be careful, be alert, do not take things for granted. This would not happen if I was calmer and more relax.
2. How Allah's creation has benefited us for so long, the sharp and clear sight that Allah gave us, are we not thankful? When that beautiful gift is taken away from us even in a tiny bits, we do feel the deficiency. So, never forget to always be grateful to Allah. Proof the gratefulness in doings and sayings.
Adios ..... I need to get a new pair of glasses. I need to deter my other plans for something of a higher priority, that is my sight.
