What's in Your Parking Lot?

The Winn Dixie parking lot is not extraordinary. There are black and red shopping carts, an assortment of cars and trucks, lines on the pavement, signs  for instruction and advertisement. It's blacktop and nondescript. 

Car's come and go, and if I'm not careful, I sometimes walk in the middle of the roadway, lost in thought, until the presence of an unyielding vehicle enters my consciousness, and I quickly move to the edge. Many others and I appear to hurry in and hurry out. Push the cart, push the groceries, push the cars to move, push, push, push. We get in our automobiles and drive home to rush the groceries into the house. Today, I unloaded the groceries, made a sandwich, emptied the dishwasher, and ate lunch, all at the same time. However, I did something before I got home that made my day a little brighter. 

In the parking lot, I was caught up in my world of pushing when the sky above the store caught my eye as I was loading the back of my car. I stopped what I was doing and got my camera off the front seat, and for just a few minutes, I looked at the sky- really looked at it.

I saw this...

and this at the parking lot.

My pause made me sky conscious, so before I unloaded the groceries, I walked around to my backyard for one last peek. I just had to look one more time, and I was not disappointed.

God called the space "sky." Genesis 1:8


Peace.
