It was a hot, 99-degree August day in San Antonio, Texas when a ten-month-old baby girl was accidentally locked in a parked car. Let’s talk about it.

The baby girl’s mother was hysterical, the baby was screaming at the top of it’s lungs, and the intense heat inside the car made it a life-and-death situation, when a tow truck driver arrived on the scene. He grabbed a hammer from his truck and smashed a car window to free the baby.

Was he heralded a hero? No, according to the local newspaper, which quoted him saying, “The baby’s mother got mad at me because I broke the window. And I thought, what’s more important—a baby or a window?”

Most of the choices we make in life are not between what is trivial and what is important. Rather, most of the choices we make are usually between what is important and what is more important.

Friend, don’t worry about the broken windows in your life, when babies’ lives are at risk.
