He is everywhere

So, I felt compelled to find some good Mother Theresa quotes tonight and came across a quote that she said which speaks volumes:
“each one of them is Jesus in disguise”

HOW TRUE!? I’m sure she was speaking about the poor of calcutta, and using them in refrence to the poor and disadvantaged around the world. Although I think the old lady had more up her sleeve when she uttered this line. Not only does this quote cover those who we typically need to be reminded to treat better, as if they are Jesus, in this case the untouchables, but how about the people around you?
Daily I’ve been getting slowly drawn into the Boston crazy commuter schedule and it drives me crazy. I think because I am forced to be someone who I am not, being quiet for the entire commute, not looking or conversing with anyone, acting all uptight and fleeing to buy a coffee during each commute. Slowly my normally happy demeanor has evaporated for the stereotypical Bostonian impatience and disregard for others.
Well, what about these people? Jesus is in disguise here as well. He’s late for work, or yapping on his cell phone on the way home from work. I finally broke out of my forced Boston-train silence(it’s seriously crazy to be on a train and nobody talking…creepy actually) this morning and was pleasantly surprised not to have my head bitten off for disturbing someone, and actually had a nice discussion. There is hope out there, and I hope that I don’t ever give up on people despite what my preconceived notions are. I think lately, I’ve really judged people as this or that, when that’s really just wasting time. There is so much to learn from each person in this world and I hope that I can resurrect that love and wonder in how different God made each one of us, while treating everyone as if they were Jesus himself.
