I was going along one of the main
streets in Lincoln the other day. I have seen this fellow
before. Every time he is standing on a street corner waving
what looks like a lunch bucket. Well this time I pulled
into a place to get some cheaper gas. You know this place
was a couple cents cheaper than the others I had passed.
Well I kind of watched this fellow. He
would have made a real good traffic cop. He was waving that
bucket, like come on get a move on, move it. I had seen him
before and I had it figured out he has a small problem. But
what's with this waving the bucket?
Today I found out. He was waiting for
a bus. In his mind he has it, if he can speed up the car
traffic, his bus will get there faster. You know he may be
right.
Now I have feelings for a person like
that. I have a saying. "There go I, but by the grace of
God." I am not sure that isn't said by others about me. In
my mind all are short somewhere in something.
I also think each person is important.
I think there is a need for each person. Just like a pebble
of sand on a beach. You see each pebble is just a grain of
sand so to speak.. But together with many other pebbles
make the beach. We are like that too.
Too many people make with the "ME,
MYSELF, and I" stuff. In other words The Big I and the
little u. Stop and think.. If it wasn't for the rank and
file soldiers, what would a general do? He can bark orders
till the cows come home.. Nothing happens till the rank and
file soldiers make a move.
The fellow on the corner, is a pebble,
just like you and I. He is important to the machinery of
this life. He has a job doing something somewhere. Someone
depends on him showing up somewhere on a job. He depends on
that job. Some depend on you, you depend on others.
Just like pebbles on a beach. One by
itself is just a grain of sand. Lots of grains of sand
makes the beach. A lot of us together can get something
done. A general by his self does nothing, but barks
orders.
