who is packed your parachute in 2017?

So 2017 is coming to an end, in some few hours it will be etched in the walls of history (the worries,the memories,the last minute miracles and many more.....not forgetting the economic situation of Nigeria.
lets take this remaining few hours of 2017 to reminisce, and think of those that have been a pillar of support with this short story.

Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.

After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said "You're Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!"

"How in the world did you know that?" asked Vishal.

"I packed your parachute," the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn't worked, I wouldn’t be here today.

Vishal couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker"

So my dear friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.

We need many kinds of parachutes when our plane is shot down – we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, the spiritual parachute & the Financial Parachute.We call on all these supports before reaching safety.Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.

We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.

As you go through this remaining hours of the year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.

I just want to THANK Everyone who Packed my parachute this 2017 one way or the other - through your words, deeds, prayers. Cheers For 2018.... Thank you all and God bless you. Hope to get more of your prayers, care and support in 2018. Wish you all a very blessed & and prosperous new year....THANK YOU..!!
