Biggest miracle begins with the smallest U-turn.
A tourist, in a large city, – elderly, and not very familiar with modern technology – was determined to walk from his place of stay, and visit a famous church.
He had a map with him.
He walked fast, head high, map in hand….
… confident, certain.
But after an hour of walking, nothing looked familiar.
Streets felt strange. Landmarks were missing. His heart began to sink.
Finally, he stopped, enquired regarding the map to a passerby, and realised the truth:
The map was outdated.
The roads had changed.
And he was walking – boldly, proudly – towards the wrong destination.
For a moment, pride whispered: “Don’t turn back… just keep going.”
But truth spoke louder in his heart:
“Better to feel foolish for a minute…
… than being lost for a lifetime.”
He laughed at himself, turned around, changed direction…
… and within minutes, he was standing exactly where he needed to be.
Sometimes the biggest miracle begins with the smallest U-turn.
