It happened again today. I was leaving the shop and got the distinct impression that a new friend could use some of my time. Label it what you want, something, perhaps even God, gave me the distinct impression I needed to go back as I crossed the intersection.
One u-turn, awkward introduction and prayer together later I was sitting with a guy I don’t think I’ve ever met before. We talked about life, about challenges and about hope. I left him with my number and the knowledge that people… that God cared about him and his family.
If I’m going to really help reconcile with each other and see hope for life, I need to sit on more sidewalks. I need to sit in little Mexican restaurants. I need to wander the back alleys of whatever town I’m in.
