I recently lost a few pounds and decided that because of this, it was a good time to go through my closet. One of the surprises I experienced was to find a lovely pair of black pants that I had forgotten about. So, I washed them and was happy to find that they weren't too tight in the waist. Last Wednesday I was invited out for lunch and decided to wear them.
Everything was fine until after the meal when I started walking towards my car in downtown Medicine Hat. My pants felt strange and I didn't realize what was happening until they were at my knees!
When I looked up I noticed that there were people coming towards me but they were still about a block away so I thought I could make it to my car without them noticing. I had a fairly heavy purse in my left hand so I quickly reached down with the right hand and yanked the waistline upwards. When I arrived at the car, however, I still had my purse in the left hand and had to use my right hand to put the key in the door. My pants dropped mid-way between my knees and ankles!
Now many people would likely have been horrified in a similar situation but I just got the giggles! As soon as I got home I sent a text message to all my children and grandchildren telling what had happened. For three hours they made comments back and forth and we all had good laughs.
Well, there are many lessons to be learned from an experience like this:
1. We all have blessings that we might miss if we don't pay attention. You probably own clothing, books, or other treasures that you have forgotten about. Look around and be blessed.
2. Don't make assumptions. Just because you think that something fits or works doesn't mean that it will be practical or serve its purpose well. I should have spent more time ensuring that the waistline was beyond being comfortable - it was too loose!
