My husband recently celebrated a birthday and we decided to hit the town to celebrate. We ate at an overpriced steakhouse (I'm not name dropping because they don't deserve the publicity) and enjoyed the Waterfront at night. I had to force him to take this picture because I left my camera at home. A living statue. I thought that it was so cool the discipline that it takes to not move or talk, I have to do both or die. My husband was like "He just wants money!" and I was like, "Give him some!" The statue broke protocol and shook my hand. It was warm that night and as you can see he is dressed for colder climates, he deserved the money.
This statue made me meditate on some things. Like, how I need to "Be still and know that he is God". Not the statue of course but our creator. Sometimes we get so anxious for things, we want immediate satisfaction and it doesn't always happen. More times than not we see it come along later. Patience is a virtue that is beyond necessary in Christianity. In this now, Now, NOW, generation that we live in. Sometimes we just need to be still and listen for the still, small voice of God.
