I recently was able to get a new knee brace while I was home
for the holidays. It isn’t a pair of
P.F. Flyers, but I feel I am running faster and jumping higher. Interestingly, I found while wearing it, the
value it has seems unnoticeable. While I
have it on my leg feels fine and feels it doesn’t need any support. But that changes when I take the brace off. My knee feels unstable, and walking down stairs
again becomes a scary prospective. It occurred
to me this morning how the brace acts as a living analogy in my life. It is easy to overlook the value of something
used often in our lives.
Just before the break I was able to take a walk up around
the Temple here in Provo. While crossing the street near the temple I noticed a car coming to the intersection. I was talking with my sister Beth on the
phone, and jokingly asked her if she thought the car was going to stop. At that moment, the thought came to me that
no, the car was not going to stop.
