You don't really
understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will
wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave
back. ~William D. Tammeus
This lady is a school crossing guard. But there is one strange thing...I have never seen her cross anyone. She has been at her post for so many decades that I can't remember a time when she wasn't here. She comes to her very busy intersection just as school is letting out. And there she stands, waving and smiling at every car that comes in her sight. Huge friendly waves, big smiles. She is kind of like a crossing guard cheerleader. Then Phil remarked that maybe her only job is to wave. You see, when she waves and smiles, the drivers wave back. And the result of this is that they SLOW DOWN right before they get to the school. Nice job!
“In your generous love I am really
living at last! My lips brim praises like fountains. I bless you every time I
take a breath; My arms wave like
banners of praise to you.”
Psalm 63
