When I saw this caption, I felt like it was so me. Often times I'm not in a position to have a conversation with someone even though I'd like to. It might be too noisy, I might have my air mask on or the other person may always have trouble hearing me. Regardless of the situation, I like to let the person know I see them and show a friendly gesture, like a smile and a wave.
Sometimes people don't want to talk, they just want an acknowledgement of their presence. Southerners have a knack for smiling and waving as we drive down the road. Sometimes if I can't get my hand up in time or don't recognize the friend in time, I feel guilty and hope they don't think I was being rude.
As a kid, I remember giving the big rig drivers the honking sign thru the car window. They would often smile and wave at me before they blew their horn for me. I think they got a kick out of it as much as I did.
It doesn't take much to shine a little light into someone's path. Just a smile and a wave can make someone's day.
It's true. And Wally World is probably the place that needs Christian smiles as much as any place.
ReplyDeleteI love this, Angie. Smiles are cheap but oh, so valuable. There is something healing for both parties when a bright smile appears.
ReplyDeleteSorry Angie... That's all we got from each other yesterday, but it was nice to see you. Have a great day. Joel
