In my last entry, I mentioned an invisible sign and this morning there was a person who was wearing one.
Where I live there is a man who, if I was to guess, is in his sixties. Everyday this man walks to work and back, walks in the neighborhood in his shorts of a morning, mumbles, and really won't talk to you face to face. When I first got around him I was a bit leary of walking around him, much less saying hello. This morning was different though. I was talking to one neighbor, Ray, when this gentleman began walking up towards us. I quickly said "good morning, how are you?" This man stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look who was behind him. I pointed to him and replied "I am talking to you, yes you." He mumbled something else as he walked towards us. This unknown name man started walking with me and Sadie and I could actually understand what he was saying. I was excited.
As we continued to walk and talk, I noticed he studdards and is well aware of what goes on in the news and area. Now he wouldn't stop talking. I was really amazed at how one small question lit a spark in this man's life this morning.
As I reflect on the events of this morning and other days I remember seeing a sign on his neck that said "make me feel important, let me know you see me, and please talk to me because I am lonely." I may be the only bible that this man has read in a long time and I can only pray that he saw Jesus.
Who are you walking past in your journey through the day that needs to see Jesus?
I encourage you to take notice of those in your path and let them know you see their sign.
