A man wearing jeans, t-shirt and a baseball cap positioned himself against a wall beside a trash can at the L'ENFANT PLAZA, station in Washington, D.C. He pulled out a violin and began to play. In the next 43 minutes, as he performed six classical pieces, 1,097 people passed by , ignoring him. No one knew it, but the man playing outside the metro was JOSHUA BELL, one of the finest classical musicians in the world, playing some of the most elegant music ever written, on a 3.5 million stradivarius. But no crowd gathered for the virtuoso. "It was a strange feeling, that people were actually.... ignoring me," said BELL. How often do we ignore our friends, GOD, and family, When they could enrich, enpower, and revolutionize our lives. Look what we could be missing, BY NOT TAKING THE TIME !!!!!!! |

. Or reading the post that have no comments as you look through them, what could you be missing? You no longer have a goose egg. I did not miss it? Did I? Know? Yes? ? . . Without Absolute Truth, there are only lies disguised as truth, if you know not the Absolute Truth and it is NOT within you, you will embrace a relative truth that fits your eternity, that is presently before you. Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you. This time is short, serve Him well, serving all. Without exception. Know? Yes? ? .

I think to really establish in your heart and character to stop and smell the roses, to hear a violin is a great thing to do with ones life....not to wait till your in your seventies which can be too late and rather sad.....GOD Bless Us all

We miss a lot because we do not SEE or HEAR with HIS. Sadly we miss many blessings that way, don't we? Beth

I once went to hear a classical musician, a great virtuoso, who was also a beautiful woman. The person with me was totally enthralled with her beautiful and that seemed to be the real reason he wanted to see and hear her. I always felt that if she had an average appearance that he wouldn't have been at all interested in her concert. The focus on the outward in our culture is very grieving, as if outward appearance equals worth. I don't think that this is the primary point you were making, but ti seemed relateable in light of the story of Joshua Bell and perhaps why he was ignored as he was. Let your gentleness be evident to all. Philippians 4:5
