Pray for others

Many of my God moments happen when I'm out walking our dog.  This morning I was thinking to myself "what am I going to see today?"  For a moment I felt bad that I expect something to leap out at me every day and if it doesn't, that I'm somehow not looking hard enough.

I looked up the street and saw a Jeep driving the wrong way toward me but in a flex lane so not quite in traffic.  He stopped right across from me and a man hopped out and opened the back window to this very nice 4-door Jeep.  It was trash pickup day and he proceeded to go through the blue recycling container and I heard cans and glass.  He was going around looking for cans and bottles to redeem.  And I thought to myself, "I'm doing okay".  I don't know his story but I can tell he is doing something he'd rather not be doing.  I was reminded you just don't know what other people are dealing with. 

God wants us to pray for others and we need to remember to include people we don't know.  Pray for people in all circumstances and to give thanks for everything.  Today I was thankful.
