Randomness from iTORE chapter 57
I was outside just sitting this morning..thinking about life in general & yet about nothing at all,when I noticed out of the corner of my eye a small car pull into the parking lot near where I was,but they pulling right behind all the other cars,so if someone needed to get out they would be blocked in. This little tiny woman (maybe in her early 60's) with a sun hat,gets out of the car,and starts walking in my direction. I thought maybe she was taking an alternate route into the side door of the diner,but no,she was in fact heading towards me.
She comes up to me & hands me a little booklet that says Our Daily Bread on it,and introduced herself as "Pam",shakes my hand,and asks if I need a ride anywhere,and I was like laughing,saying,"no,I'm fine..I live right there" pointing to above to diner...and she was like "Ohhh,ok...well I just had to ask you if you knew Jesus?" I laughed & smiled at her & said,"Well,yeah...I'm a Christian actually." Then she gave me this huge hug and was like,"Ohh that was easy..you made my day!"..then gave me like 2 move hugs & a kiss on the cheek before she left & as she drove away said she had to head home & mow the lawn.
Apparently,after all these years,even with semi-normal hair & not dressed all in black,I still look really unsaved or diabolical. LOL I haven't had anyone try to witness to me or hand me a bible tract in eons. lol She seemed kinda sweet. I'm just not used to random strangers coming up to me anymore. When I was in Maine I had to build a sort of invisible force field around me to keep the crazy people at bay,and for the most part it worked. Not very Christ-like to say the least,and I'm not proud of it. I feel bad that I've become a bit of a social snob in the sense that I really have to force myself to say hi to people if I pass by them,or just be open...does that make sense???
Yeah well,anyways...rambling.
