Another day in the junkyard

A week later.OK, so we have some new friends now. They just live in the junkyard. Jason and I wanted to do something nice for them, You know? We thought we would have a nice back yard cook out. You know, just the normal stuff you and I do all of the time. So off we went to the store shopping. We bought the good stuff too. We didn't scrimp on anything. Our thinking was, that we were sure that Christ truly gives us the good stuff all of the time. So we would also.OK, so we pull up to the junkyard with all of this stuff. Grill, bags and bags of good stuff. Pee wee and some of his friends are there some folks we had met and a few we had not met. But wouldn't you know...We had enough for them all and then some. (Had to be a God thing)We ask them if they had plans for lunch.... They just looked at us...Then we said "Lets have a back yard cook out'...Then they looked at us like we were nuts!So the fun was on... We cooked big fat messy burgers with everything you could think of on them. We had a great time we got to know each other and shared life stories. We just sat under the trees in the junkyard and had a great afternoon. I noticed Pee wee sitting on an up side down bucket looking at that giant sloppy burger. He looks right at me and said this. "Man this is the life". aint it ? With a big smile. When he said those words I was knocked over. He was so happy and content right then. He was feeling like some one in this world cared a little.A lady that was living in the back part of the junkyard said to us don't we have to study the bible now or something. You are ministers right? Pee wee spoke up and said...Don't you see it they have been doing it the whole time they have been here. This brought up a good discussion about God and his goodness.While the others were talking I noticed the traffic speeding up and down the highway...Up and down. Back and forth. I watched and no one. Not one person even turned their head in the direction of the junkyard. NO ONE. But then again why would they? It made me think. How these folks must feel here in the junk yard being passed by all day every day. In my heart I hoped they hadn't noticed it that way. Then I thought.... How did we find them? It was like I knew them forever. How did we end up here? It was so clear to me right then. They had a need God knew it and sent us right here right now. ON TIME! I will write on this one more in a bit.... But I must close for now. With this thought...What if...God was too busy to notice us in our own junkyards. What if no one even looked our way? What would you do? What would you think? How would you get by?Last Sunday who sat next to you or your family? Did you notice them? Were they bound in their own junkyard? Did they need a friend? Or just a smile? What about that cashier at the gas station yesterday or that person in traffic? WOW!!!!!!!!!!! They are everywhere.Lets all slow down and listen to that small great voice inside...Feel his leading and reach out every time we can! What if we missed a chance to just smile and be nice...MAN THIS IS THE LIFE!!!
