Stranger
Fe
Today my parents, a friend of theirs, and I went out to lunch. A young man wearing an interesting t-shirt came in and sat at the table next to us. Both my dad and I were staring at the shirt and I am sure he knew it. So I simply acknowledged it out loud to […]
Patience at the Checkout
I try to get to the grocery store during times that are not too busy. However, my latest trip happened about the same time people get out of work and stop at the store on their way home. The check out lanes in the store I go to have what I like to call a […]
Angel on the Trail
It has been just over a year now since my sister broke her leg. She was a long time in a boot and then therapy to learn to walk on it again. Since then she has been working hard to get back to “normal”. She, my other sister, and I decided to go for a […]
Future Policeman
My dad has been trying to get the garage door serviced for weeks now. The first time it was scheduled, the serviceman had to cancel as he had a sick child. So we rescheduled. My mom was in the hospital on the date of the second appointment, so we cancelled and rescheduled. The third time, […]
Point Well Made
It was a hot dry day today, so I decided to get the 4-wheel drive vehicle washed. It has been taking many trips on dirt roads and you couldn’t walk by it without some of the fine red soil brushing onto your clothing. I took it to the usual place. I always chat with interesting […]
A Fascinating Ministry
Today I took the car over to the local car wash to get a good cleaning. It was a beautiful day, so I waited outside as the workers washed it inside and out. As I sat on the bench, I gave my sister a call. We talked about times we might be able to get […]
The Hand Made Sign
Every time I drive by a certain street corner, there is a man there who holds a hand made sign and waves it as he walks around. Typically, there are too many words on the sign to read while you are driving by. Today I went to lunch with my mom and her friend. We […]
Treated With Care
I took my mom to a doctor’s appointment bright and early this morning. In the waiting room, there was a woman speaking very loudly. It became apparent that she was mentally challenged. There was another woman with her who was completing her paperwork and would talk with her every now and again. She was very […]
Not Too Much Trouble
As I was out and about this afternoon, I pulled into a busy shopping area. At one of the busiest intersections was a seemingly homeless man sitting with his backpack and carelessly holding a sign that I could not read. Across the road from him a young woman was jogging his direction. I thought that […]
Uplifting Words
I decided to hit the grocery store bright and early this morning to get it accomplished so I could enjoy the beautiful day. The employees at the supermarket are all very friendly and helpful, which makes for a pleasant experience. Once I had unloaded all my items onto the conveyor, the chatting began with the […]
