Bus trip

On the bus you can meet the most interesting people, you are given a small insight into an absolute strangers life just by hearing their conversation or observing the way that the interact with those around them. On the bus today there was a lovely elderly fellow who was singing to himself when we stood at the bus stop, he asked the bus driver if he went to rockdale plaza and the bus driver said he didn't go in but past on the highway, the bus driver very kindly said he would stop for the man and when he got on he said to me I presume "I'm a prriest I tell about God, I love Jesus the Christ." I don't know what type of accent it was but he spoke clear enough but with a very pronounced accent, another man got on when we stopped again and he said "everything is alright, everything is alright" the man mumbled something in reply bi when the next people got on he said "all is well, all is good the conversation went no further. At the next stop we made a couple got on and the man who had gotten on started to talk about the weather with the priest (< he was dressed in a blue striped shirt like my grandfather wears and shorts, sandals and socks and was carrying behind him one of those trolley cart things) they spoke briefly of the weather as it was a hot day and there was a storm to be expected, and then the priest said again "I am a prriest, I tell about God." Then it was his stop and he jumped out and stood on the corner waiting for the lights, smiling away at the buses occupants and then waving until he had to walk. There was something inspiring in the way he was so absolutely open about his faith and beliefs, he felt that everyone must know he was a priest and that meant he believed in God, I get frightened from talking with those I love about God but here he was on a busy trip with strangers thinking it so important that they at least knew what he was and why. I believe God makes everything happen for a reason and if all that man did that for was to inspire me to share more than I will simply have to get that sorted.

With love always
