pedestrians...

Pedestrians. When you are driving, do you stop for them? 

As I have been out for my morning walks, I have noticed not many (if any) drivers stop for me... even when there is a clearly marked pedestrian sign.

If I am honest, I don't always (almost never) stop for them either. I am in a hurry - usually because I am running late... trying to get to my next destination. 

Sometimes I think this is how I go through life. I am always busy... always in a hurry... always heading to or doing the next thing and I forget to stop. Stop to listen. Stop to pay attention. Stop to invest in the people I say matter.

If you are anything like me, you race through life like you race through the pedestrian crossing... almost running people over. My prayer for each of us is this... that we slow down, pay attention to what matters, and love with open arms like our Father does.
