Ukugijima Umjaho: Izinsuku Ezingu-5 Zokukhuthazwa Indlela Yokuphila EsebenzayoIsampula

UmSamariya Womdlalo Webhayisikili

Ngo-2014, u-Raully no-Eddie babamba iqhaza ku-A.D.A.'s Tour de Cure Bike Ride e-L.A., umcimbi wokuqongelela imali ye-American Diabetes Association.

Njengoba bengabagibeli abakhuthele, womabili amadoda afune lolu hambo lwamamayela angu-62 njengendlela yokuzijabulisa. U-Raully ukhumbula endiza ezindaweni eziningi zokuphumula no-Eddie. “Sizoma kwesilandelayo! Siyaqala nje!” Kodwa, njengoba usuku luqhubeka, womabili la madoda aqaphela ukuthi ayethathe ijika elingafanele.

“Besisesimweni esibi,” kusho u-Raully, eqondise kwindlala eyandayo kanye nokuphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni. 

“Ngangizizwa ngidangele,” kwengeza u-Raully. “Bengicabanga, ‘Ingabe kufanele ngibize kwezabosizo bangilande futhi bangibuyisele emgqeni?’ Ngase ngifuna nje ukuthi kuphele.”

Kungaleso sikhathi lapho umshayeli webhayisikili wama eduze kwabo. Wabone ukuthi badonsa kanzima, wabanika amabhodlela amabili amancane kajusi. Ijusi ye-pickle iqukethe isamba esikhulu sesodium kanye noviniga, ohlinzeka ngama-electrolyte. U-Raully no-Eddie bathatha ijusi kakhukhamba baphindela emabhayisikili abo, bemangele ngento eyayisanda kwenzeka. 

Kwakwanele nje ukubafikisa kumakhilomitha angu-11 ukuqedela umdlalo, imayela ngalinye nobuhlungu obungokwengqondo nomzimba. Ngalolo suku, uRaully no-Eddie bagibela amakhilomitha angu-74—amakhilomitha angu-12 ngaphezu kwalokho ababekulindele. 

“Ngambonga kakhulu lowo mshayeli webhayisikili futhi angizange ngithole igama lakhe,” kusho u-Raully. “Wavele wabonakala sengathi uvele nje wavele wasisiza ngesikhathi sethu sobunzima.”

“Ngezwa isigaxa esikhulu emphinjeni ngesikhathi bebeka Indondo yokuPhothula uMjaho ekhanda lami,” engeza.

U-Raully une-Type 2 Diabetes. Kuye, lokhu okufeziwe kwe-American Diabetes Association kwakungomunye wemizwa engcono kakhulu emhlabeni. 

U-Raully no-Eddie bakholelwa ukuthi okuwukuphela kwesizathu sokuba bafike emaphethelweni kwakungenxa yokupha komuntu abangamazi. Ake sicabange le ndaba ngokombono womgibeli wamabhayisikili ongaziwa.

Yini okumele ngabe wayeyicabanga? Kumele ukuba wayeqaphele lapho ebona abagibeli ababili beme eceleni komgwaqo njengoba naye wayelibangise emaphethelweni omjaho. Nokuma anikeza ngesihle ijusi yakhe epakishwe ngokucophelela? 

Siwuzwile umfanekiso womSamariya Olungileyo, isihambi esama ukuze asize indoda eyayiswele, kodwa ingabe sesikucabangile ngempela ukuthi yini edingekayo ukuze sibe kanjalo? 

UmSamariya Olungileyo uphila nengqondo ethi, “Okwami ​​kungokwakho.” Umuntu ongamazi ogibele i-Tour de Cure wayengazigcinela izinsiza zakhe, ngokungazi ukuthi kwakuzokwenzekani kumamayela angu-11asele. Kodwa, akazange. Wanikela ngawo.

Umsamariya olungileyo uyanaka. Nsuku zonke, siphuthelwa izinto phambi kobuso bethu, amathuba uNkulunkulu asinika wona okwenza okuhle, ukuphana okuthile, ukumkhonza. UJohane 4:35 uthi, “Ngithi kuwe vula amehlo akho ubone kahle ukuthi yini ephambi kwakho. Lawa … amasimu asevuthiwe. Yisikhathi sokuvuna!” (MSG).

Namuhla, asiphile njengomshayeli webhayisikili ophanayo emjahweni we-Tour de Cure Bike Ride. Masigcine amehlo ethu evuleleke esidingweni futhi siphile nomqondo othi, “Okwami ​​kungokwakho.”
