From my office window I watched someone come and put this new bench in the park by our church. There's nothing special about it... It's just a bench. But this bench created an opportunity of a lifetime for me. There's a cliche that says "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" Well for me it was today! This afternoon I became the first person ever to sit on that bench. Nobody will ever take that title away and maybe in twenty years the bench will still be there and a single glance at it would cast my mind back to a sunny April lunch break with a cup of tea and a honey mustard chicken pasta.
Have I done more significant things in my life? Probably.
Will I do more significant things in the future? Hopefully.
Will I always be the first person ever to sit on the bench? Absolutely.
