You're enjoying a day at the beach when all of a sudden a rip tide takes you farther out than you have been before. Your instinct is to swim as hard as you can straight back to shore. Not long after you begin your frantic stroking, someone meets you at your spot, and calmly tells you to relax for a minute and follow their lead. The instruct you to swim calmly parallel to the shore. Not only do you catch your breath, but you also realize that you are starting to go somewhere. A short time later, you are swimming calmly, side by side with this angel, back into the safety of shore. You get there, stand up, shake off the fear..and walk away.
You don't say thank you.
You don't appreciate the life-saving lesson they taught you.
You don't acknowledge that their skill and willingness to care about you just saved your life.
It's hard to imagine, but there are plenty more stories where this came from! Go to www.rescuevoices.com to hear more!
