Therefore put on the full armor of
God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your
ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
One after another, people stepped up on the sidewalk and
paused for a moment right in front of me and my friend, Joyce, as we enjoyed
our meal from the restaurant’s outdoor dining area. At first I thought it was
strange. What are they doing? But
when I saw the imprint in the concrete, I understood. “Stand here to make your
next wish” it read, and an outline beckoned the feet, mine included.
I wondered what the others had wished for. They didn’t dare
tell, because as the old saying goes, if you tell a wish, it won’t come true.
It was fun, standing and wishing in that same place where
others had stood, silently offering their own wishes. But the old saying is
just superstition. Of course, sharing your wish with another does not
disqualify it from fruition. Sharing your wish may spur another on to encourage
your pursuit. And that’s exactly what happened with Joyce.
