Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Sheridan Voysey, Writer and broadcaster:听
Some days we wake to a world of clear skies and bright possibilities. Other days, it鈥檚 to thunder rattling our rooves! Several weeks ago my wife and I woke to the news that my father had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. To complicate matters, my dad is my mother鈥檚 full-time carer, and they live in Australia. With both parents now needing care, and us so far away, some stressful days followed. The plan was for Dad to have the tumour removed, then receive chemotherapy.听

We flew to Brisbane to support him. When Sunday came, we visited his church too鈥攚here a man named Helmut approached me. Helmut said he鈥檇 heard about our family鈥檚 situation, he wanted to help, and would soon be in touch. I wasn鈥檛 sure anything would come of it. Many promise help without following through. Two days later, Helmut visited my parent鈥檚 house with a notepad in hand. He鈥檇 written a list of tasks they might need help with. He said, 鈥淵ou鈥檒l need some meals delivered after the operation鈥擨鈥檒l arrange a cooking roster. Then there鈥檚 your mowing鈥擨 can do that. And what day is your rubbish collected?鈥� Down the list he went, sorting everything.听

Helmut is a retired truck driver who now spends his days helping the elderly, homeless, and others in need. I asked how this compassion developed, and he said it started when he became a Christian some years ago. His experience reminded me of something a philosopher once told me鈥攖hat the greatest 鈥榩roof鈥� of God鈥檚 existence isn鈥檛 the beauty of the world, or our innate sense of right and wrong, but the love that flows out from a person when God becomes the centre of their lives. Dad鈥檚 tumour was too large to safely remove. His chemotherapy was delayed too.听

After three weeks in Brisbane Dad told us to head home鈥攚e鈥檇 done all we could and Helmut was now there to help. We returned home still a little nervous, trusting Helmut to follow through when needed. Dad had his third round of chemo last week. Helmut drove him to the hospital, as he has each time. The lawns are mown. The fridge is full of meals. It feels like we鈥檝e been touched by God through a truck driver鈥檚 hands.
