Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, which was generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by, and a knock came on the man’s door. To his surprise, a giant colour TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: “Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband’s bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.” Meditation: But whoever

We live in an area where geese are very common. We see them coming in the Fall and leaving early Spring. Their migration is an awesome sight. There is an interdependence in the way geese function.

However, going… The Garbage Man: Give It Your Best I had been working much too long on this job. Things could have been worse. I certainly wasn’t doing hard labour. However, going door to door asking questions as a representative of the federal government wasn’t the most satisfying position either. It was August. It was hot. I had to wear a tie. “Hello. My name is Bob Perks, and we are surveying this neighbourhood… “I’m not interested! Goodbye!”…slam, lock. You can’t imagine how many times I heard that. I finally caught on and began with, “Before you slam the door, I am not selling anything, and I just need to ask a few questions about yourself and the community.” The young woman inside the doorway paused for a moment, raised her eyebrows as she shrugged her shoulders, confused by my rude introduction. “Sure. Come on in. Don’t mind the mess. It’s tough keeping up with my kids.” It was an older home in a section of the valley where people with meagre income found affordable shelter.

The man with the keys arrived to swing open the large, heavy doors. The cold hall springs to life in the warm glow of light. He could hardly control His emotions. The families began to arrive. He peers from the corner of the room, longing for the 1st glimpse of His loved one. He lives for the weekends. He lives for these visits. As the cars arrive, He watches intently. Then, finally, they arrive, the ones for whom He would do anything. They embrace and visit, then eat a light lunch and reminisce about how things used to be. Some moments are quiet, others joyful, and at one point, they break into singing. But all too soon, it is over. Then the man with the keys closes the heavy doors. The key turns in the lock, marking the end of a special day. He’s alone again because He knows that most of His visitors will not have any contact with Him again
