While putting in some new underground lines in our neighborhood this week, the construction crew hit a major telephone line – taking out our phone lines and internet service.
Thursday morning we still had no lines and AT&T was unsure about the timeline for restored service. I had a heavy day of writing and correspondence lined up but realized those plans were not going to happen.
So I cancelled my lunch appointment and Joanne and I took our granddaughter Clara to the county fair. We saw proud owners washing their cows and leisurely spent time seeing the sheep, goats, chickens and horses. We were wowed by a sand sculpture and the art works of local school children.
On the way home we stopped to check out some fall grasses when we passed a nursery “Sale” sign. While Joanne and I checked out the plants, Clara informed us she was going to go talk with Jesus. I overheard some of her conversation where she was describing an encounter with her dog the day before. I admire her vision to see Jesus in places where in my busyness I may miss Him.
Sometimes an interruption in our day may just allow us to catch up and have a little talk with Jesus. I doubt my scheduled work would have been more important.
