A Wrong Turn…A Change of Direction

After worship service yesterday, I planned to shop for work clothes at Southcenter Mall. I was surprised that the stores were closed in the mall and the surrounding area in observance of Easter. I silently reminisced about growing up and how the stores were closed on Sunday so all the workers would be in Sabbath. I was delighted.

I usually am directionally challenged entering and exiting the shopping area in Tukwila. My departure was not an exception. I made a wrong turn. I pulled my car into Crystal Springs Park change direction. This park was small and quiet with calming views. Of course, I wanted a photo to post on Face book.

I parked my car next to the only vehicle in the parking lot a big black SUV with tinted windows. I was singing away to the radio with my window down. The tinted window came down. A young man looked at me and asked, “Do I know you?”  I replied, “No. You do now. I took a wrong turn and apparently it was the right turn. Sometimes you need to changed direction”  He smiled and asked,  “Would you write down about the right turn? I want to use it. It was deep.” I nodded and wrote it down. He smiled and said, “Thanks, Professor.”

The tinted window raised and the SUV sped off. 




Today's Reflection: "How many times have you made a wrong turn into a right turn with a change of direction?"
