Open the mail. I love what you’re saying here, Ruth. I know there are times that I can “throw away” a person by one look at their “envelope” like I do my junk mail. 🙁 And it isn’t always the poorest, but sometimes the richest that I can toss away with a glance. May we continue to learn to NOT do this. Thanks for sharing your insight.

“Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.” (1 Sam. 16:7) I’ve been thinking about this verse off and on for a while. We tend to have this “need”, for lack of a better word, to size a person up and tuck them neatly into a box. The problem is, that if we put them in the “dead letter box”, we never open the “mail” to find out what the person is really like. We don’t even try.
I’ve had people do that to me many times. But I’m moving on with Jesus, because He doesn’t do that to me. He knows my heart, and He delights in me. He has a purpose for my life, and it’s a good purpose.

In reply to Laura Thomas. Yes, I appreciate how God works in different ways to catch my attention. If both these men hadn't been named Travis, I'm not sure how long I would have pursued the conversation with T-Bone. But thankfully God let me know he was up to something! :)

In reply to Nicki Schroeder. Good point, Nicki. I agree. There's a lot to be learned from those that we think are most different from us!

Yes. Wonderful reminder of how similar we are. We’re all together by design.

I appreciate the way you look at life, especially the people in it. That’s the heart of our Father within.

Isn’t it sweet when God brings people alongside us to simply to make us stop and think? Love this, Lisa. Thanks for sharing your encounters and your heart <3 Stopping by from #SittingAmongFriends

Sometimes I think the Trav in all of us can learn a thing or two from the T-Bones of life. 🙂

In reply to Natalie. Thanks, Natalie. It is amazing how open people can be when they aren't trying to protect pride or ego or possessions, etc. There's a lesson in that for me too.
