The orange highway sign flashed, “Object on road ahead.” I had a choice to cynically ignore the warning, or begin to scan ahead so I could avoid connecting with an obstruction. I chose the latter, and I’m grateful.

A key takeaway from this morning’s commute: Warnings aren’t always bad. 

Sometimes they don’t feel good, but they’re not always negative.

Warnings give us time to adjust our decision and our direction. Another perspective is to view a well-timed warning as a guiding indicator, a gauge, or a gift. 🎁 

In life and health, as on the road, sometimes we’re going too fast (for the given conditions or for our own good) and we need to get the message another way.

Here’s your sign…⚠️

Blessings, Kayren

“12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

(I Corinthians 10:12-13)
