Use It!
It was a meeting of North and South
Yorkshire meets Cockney wisdom
An Interview
Between Michaels
Two Knights of the Realm
Parkinson and Caine
The actor recalled his early days
Learning on the job
He spoke of one director who gave him a tip that was to help form his philosophy on life
They were working on a scene
When a chair happened to fall into the path Caine was supposed to take
He was wondering how he was going to carry on, with the chair blocking his way
When the direction came
“Use it”
Caine explained
“It’s the same in life
Use the difficulty
If it’s drama, smash it
If it’s a comedy, fall over it
Just Use it”
It stayed with me
How do I use ‘the chair’?
The difficulties
The obstacles
The snags and problems
The trouble
The heartbreak
In my everyday life
In my Spiritual walk?
It’s something Jesus did
He often turned a difficulty into an opportunity
To further understanding
A boy’s lunch to feed 5 000
Proving a little goes a long way
Water into wine
Nothing is Impossible with God
Temptation in the wilderness
Temptation isn’t the sin
But choosing what to do with it can be
Crucifixion
The ultimate example of how low humans will go to prove they’re right
And how far God goes to get us back
I’m no Prophet
But I know
Difficulties will turn up
Everyday
Getting in the way
Stopping me in my tracks
Changing the Script
I cry
What do I do now
It’s not fair
It shouldn’t be like this
I can almost hear God directing…
“Use it!”
