21-year-old pre-med student Alton Brieske denied being a hero after he saw a car going into the river and he jumped in, broke into the car, pulled a non-breathing elderly man to shore, then gave him CPR. For today’s Thoughtful Thursday, let’s consider how he described the situation: “That was my calling for the day.”
Makes me think that we may all have a “calling” for each day; we just need to recognize and act on it.
For people who don’t swim or know CPR, how about the man who was wandering by and heard Alton’s cry for a hammer to smash the car window. He just happened to have one with him. Maybe that was his calling for the day.
