Niliposikia sauti ya kwanza nje ya mlango wa gereji, kisha kwenye ukumbi wa nyuma, nilifikiri, ”Loo, hapana. Hakuna nafasi. Tafadhali, paka, nenda tu.” Nilitetemeka kwa hasira, nikihisi kuchukizwa. Hatukuomba hili; hatukustahili haya. <\/p>\n

Sasa, kwa joto langu laini la paja likinituliza kama motor yake ya purr inaendesha mfululizo, nampata akinitazama kwa macho yale ya moyo-yako, na, akipasuka ndani kwa furaha, najiambia, ”Sistahili hii!” Nimebarikiwa na kifurushi hiki cha manyoya kwenye mapaja yangu na kuhamia nyumbani kwangu. Neema ya Mungu haikututembelea tu bali imekuja kukaa nasi kwa namna ya Tiger. Hapana, hatukumwomba\u2014hatukufurahia alipokuja kupiga simu. Tulishindwa kumtambua kama zawadi chanya; tulihisi tu tumenufaika, kwa kuwa kuwasili kwake halikuwa wazo letu, tukijua tu wajibu ulioongezwa ambao kumchukua kungehusisha, bila kujali kwamba ni yeye ambaye alikuwa anafanya upendeleo kwa kuja kutuhudumia. <\/p>\n

Je, ingekuwaje kama kusingekuwa na baridi siku hiyo na tukamgeuzia mbali, tusitake kuhitajika, bila kutambua kile ambacho tungekosa katika maisha yetu?<\/p>\n

Na ni mara ngapi Mungu huja akiita kwa namna na kwa wakati ambao hatuutazamii, akionekana kuwa anauliza jambo fulani kutoka kwetu lakini kwa kweli akitamani tu kuingia mlangoni ili atubariki? Ni mara ngapi tunaziba masikio yetu, tunafanya mioyo yetu migumu, kuwaza, \u201csi sasa, si mimi, wakati mwingine au mtu mwingine, hakuna nafasi katika nyumba ya wageni,\u201d na kukosa nafasi ya kupokea baraka ambazo Mungu anatamani kumwaga juu yetu? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
