He walked in the door a handsome man in his gray business suit. His cell phone in his ear. There was a cheerful greeting from the person behind the counter, “Good Morning!”. The greeting was ignored. But I’m sure this guy must be really important if he is conducting business while shopping.

I observed him from a distance, something about him peeked my curiosity. As he was lost in his conversation, he made irritated faces as he moved around the people in the room. Couldn’t they see that he was an important business man?! I mean he is obviously on the phone, step out of his way. After he made his selection and moved to the front counter he sat his items down and threw his credit card on the counter never looking at the cashier and never stopped talking to his client.

The cashier smiled and asked him if he found everything okay and the man turned his back to her as if she wasn’t there. After she handed him receipt an wished him a good day he made what sounded like a moan. I’m not sure but I think it was a thank you. He left the store and started walking accross the street and almost walked right in front of a car, but the car stopped as he yelled at the driver.

I found myself wanting to run after him and say “Mister! You forgot something. You forgot there is a beautiful life going on and you are missing it.”

I’m sad for him. He just doesn’t get it. His life is passing him by.

Thank you God for letting me observe this man and making me realize how much I have grown and how blessed I am. We are what we think about.

I know the kind of thinking this man does. That used to be me.
