In his recent post "Best Phone Call Ever", Mark Borgetti refers to taking a call from a number he didn't recognize. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. My phone lists them as "unknown caller" which usually causes a reaction similar to a gag reflex. The timing of Mark's blog couldn't be more perfect as I was asked (and accepted somewhat nervously) to lead a devotion at the women's Growth Group this Tuesday on "the Woman at the Well".
One of my "learnings" from this John 4 story is how Jesus stopped for an unknown caller, the Samaritan woman, when most would not even consider such an action.
Who are the unknown callers in your life? Is it the co-worker that you know in name only and exchange a nod the first time (and only the first time) you approach them in the hall. Or is it the neighbor who's husband is out of town when 4 inches of snow (that heavy wet stuff) is deposited on the driveway. Or maybe the person at the Redbox that is having trouble getting the machine to spit out a $1 DVD.
Are these some of your "unknown callers" ? Why are they on the end of the line at that exact moment? Is HE trying to make a connection?
Rrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnggggggg!
