The Crosswalk

As I was driving I saw a lady walking in the crosswalk. She was dressed in old tennis shoes, baggy khaki’s, a tee shirt and a x-large men’s dress shirt that was hanging off her right shoulder. Her hair looked dirty and she was carrying an empty plastic cup. A man crossed her path in the crosswalk and she made several attempts at saying hello and trying to engage him in eye contact and conversation. I began to wonder what type of person carries on this way? Then I realized… we are all in this position. She has only the experiences she’s been exposed to and this puts her where she is. Her training and schooling is most likely another factor in her behavior. Well, is our training or lack of experience with God leaving us in the crosswalk? Are we being schooled by the Holy Spirit to excel in life? Are we open to the leading of what God has for us? Are we open to new experiences in worship, praise and service to Him? Selah.
