Paying Attention

Week 1: Paying Attention

Your opportunities are based on what you can observe.
John 4: 35

When I was a young boy Daddy often took us to Crawley’s Store. That is where I met Ed Crawley. Ed and his brother Harry ran the store. Ed had lost his sight as a young man but without eyes he could call us by name as we walked through the door. He could recognize us and initiate a conversation whether we had spoken or not.

We are asking God to awaken our senses so we can be like Ed Crawley. We won’t address a problem if it’s over our head or beneath our concern. So, we are asking God today for eyes to face the problems that are before us and the spiritual and physical sense to know they are there.
