In The Unlikely Event of A Water Landing

I'm sure you saw it. The water landing coming out of La Guardia yesterday? Apparently the bird hit some birds and the veteran pilot landed in the Hudson river. From what I read, it appeared as if there were no casualties. Praise the Lord.

I've been on quite a few flights. I've been to 5 continents and about 30 states,and on almost every single one of those flights you here those immortal words: "In the unlikely event of a water landing, please you your seat cushion as a flotation device".

I would say on most of those flights that I was either a. talking or b. reading the sky mall magazine. There is something quite comforting about reading about a 60 sec hot dog and bun cooker than it is to be thinking about what it would be like to be grabbing your seat cushion and heading out the door of the plane into a body of water. But what did we learn today? Sometimes the most unlikely things can actually happen.

Those people on that plane will never sit through a safety briefing on a plane the same ever again. In the back of their minds they will always remember that sometimes, the most unlikely thing can happen.

Is there someone you need to apologize to? Is there someone you need to ask forgiveness from? Is there someone you need to tell that you love them? The Bible says to not let the sun go down while you are still angry, but I think sometimes people think they have forever to make something right with someone else, themselves, or God.

Don't put it off. Do it today. Its unlikely that you won't still have the opportunity tomorrow, but do you want to take that chance? Sometimes the most unlikely events happen.

Have a great weekend. Be blessed.
