Tuesday’s Musings: Keep on Doing Good

Modified and used 6-2-20

Galatians 6:9  Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

On my walks I frequently pass a slight young man who walks his shih tzu in the neighborhood.  I try to great everyone whom I pass if not spoken to first and almost always receive a greeting of some sort in return. Sometimes those turn into conversation and even prayers.  It eats into my walking time but I consider those divine appointments.  But this young man has never, never acknowledged my greetings or even my presence.  He walks with downcast eyes but even if he sees me, there is no sense that he wants to interact.  I respect his privacy and in fact wonder if he might have some form of autism.  Still, I will not let that keep me from offering him a warm greeting.  It doesn’t matter if he or anyone else acknowledges me or not.  I will not become weary of doing good.

Holy God, we pray today for this young man and his difficulties in greeting strangers.  Help him and other gain the ability to enter into relationships at all levels with others.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a great day!
