Growing up I had the opportunity to live in some of the largest cities and metropolitan areas in America: Los Angeles, San Diego, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Louisville, and Chicago. I love the city. I enjoy the fast paced 24 hour life style something to do and see every moment of every day.
The one thing that really hit me on our trip to New York recently were the people. Great people. Felt safe the entire trip. But watching people (one of my favorite things to do) I noticed they never spoke to each other. Most individuals on the subway looked down at their feet and said absolutely nothing. When the train stops, out the door they went, and on to the next subway car or destination.
I felt like these people were very lonely and isolated.
Reaching out to people is easy. We do it daily at the store, at the office, on the street. Caring for people is difficult.
We have to take a genuine interest in people. Christ did.
