What Else Am I Missing?

See the train signal? It's pretty obvious, right? Not to me. 

That's a train store on the left. In the seven years we've lived here I've walked past the signal dozens and dozens of times. I never noticed it until this summer.

This made me think seriously about what else I'm missing. 

I think of Linda Burton's advice to "First observe, then serve." 

I want to be the kind of person who notices the beauties of nature, who is aware of her surroundings. I want to be the kind of person who is tuned into the people around me and listens to the Spirit so I can do and say what Christ would do and say.
