Walk as He Did

Sharlett F. Hunt?

? 

?  I have had the most unusual experiences for the past few days.?  I don't know the true effect of the full moon but can see it in several circumstances as I go about my life.? 

? 

?  I ride the city bus here.?  I don't drive.?  I leave the driving to "them".?  Lots of the bus drivers have become close personal friend as I endeavor to get from point A to Z.? 

? 

?  These past few days, after the full moon, have been speckled with incidences.?  Once, I was so close to killed when a vehicle pulled out because the driver was driving so fast.?  On my side, of course.?  I breathed a sigh of relief as the bus driver put on the brakes, a little too late.? 

? 

?  Another felt the need to exit the bus because someone had spoken an obscenity. It was spoken from in back of the bus.?  I tried to calm the situation and one thing I learned. I learned it makes no difference if you are black or white.

? 

?  I was waiting at a bus stop with a few ladies, all black.?  I am obviously white, though American Indian,?  I still look white.?  I learned we were all waiting for the bus and pissed off because it was 45 minutes late.?  I started talking to one of the ladies and she was so real.?  She felt the same as me.?  She actually talked to me.?  She agreed that the mobile home I am attempting to purchase would be a good thing for me and my cat.?  Another plus is they all work at the college across the street from where I will live.

? 

?  I am not all that white, although it became increasingly obvious, as the time wore on, that I am Caucasian but only in color.?  My skin might be light but I bleed red as we all do.? 

? 

?  Another lady approached, who works as a server at the cafeteria at the college.?  Her eyes were fascinating to me.?  I smile.?  She told me that they have a public lunchroom and I can go in and eat whenever I want.?  Her hair was white but her large, oval brown eyes, I shall never forget or the kindness she showed me, a disabled, out of whack, individual.

? 

?  The first time in my life I realized it is not about color.?  God made us all different colors, so as to recognize, not to hate.?  I felt as one of the girls do.?  Please, if we never learn anything else in this life, don't judge a person by what color their skin is.?  We don't know for sure the color of Jesus.?  I assume he was dark skinned as he was born in the country where people were.?  Bethlehem.?  Believe me, He walked as an example to us.

? 

?  You know what I believe??  I think I am a walking Bible.?  It makes no difference if you spend your life in church.? ?  Allow us all to influence others.?  I am not speaking in large ways.?  Just as a day to day example.?  When people talk to me, I want them to see God, as they do, I hope.?  I want you to know, He has been so good to me and is the love of my life. And I shall proclaim it!?  I shall shout it to the world, very quietly, He redeemed me.?  He restoreth my soul.?  I walk as He did and does through me.? 

? 

? I watch Oprah as most red blooded Americans do.?  She is a fine example of what He does in a person's life.?  She was sexually abused and holds no animosity.?  Forgive.?  A small word that is so difficult to actually put into action.?  She is an example to me.?  I know she thanks Him who has made me and her from the same tiny piece of clay.? 

? 

?  On her show there was a scientist who proclaimed that we are ALL 99.99% genetically exactly alike.?  Most of it is dirt and water.?  Also there are some minute minerals included.?  Which come from the dirt.?  Salt of the earth.?  Makes you think??  With inflation, our body is probably worth 8.95.?  It was five thirty five.?  Get real.?  We are all in this as one, like it or not.

? 

?  We must learn a way to get along with each other.?  That is the 11th commandment that some have forgotten.?  He commanded us to love one as the other.?  He meant what He said.?  Get out of you just for today.?  Walk in someone else's moccasins.?  You might have a learning experience.?  Show kindness to the world.?  Turn that cheek.?  Be an example, not a cause.
