I think all of my adventures make me a little wiser at the end of each day...and maybe a little more crazy.Metro Transit provides more adventures than I really care for. Yesterday, I was resting with closed eyes on a bus between St. Paul and Minneapolis when a man behind me had a short seizure. Long story short, the man was okay, but some of the men who were on that bus were so disrespectful, uncaring, and mean that I was MAD. By the end of the bus ride, I was fuming in my seat while convincing myself that I would keep my cool. I never expected people to show so little concern for someone in obvious distress or that my concern would make me the brunt of their jokes.
After that morning, I've thought more about how all of this relates to me as a child of God. Whether or not there are maddeningly stupid people in my midst, events such as this are an opportunity for me to love as Jesus loved and thank God for the ability to do so.
Wow! That is really sad. I wouldn't have guessed that would be the reaction either. Im so glad you were there to show compassion to that man! You rock Heather!!
