While standing in line at Penny Mart last evening, with my bread, milk and eggs, I noticed a young woman in front of me with her three items: White twinkle lights (only white in Germany), red stump Advent candles (ascending in height), and an Indian style statue of the Buddha (only for deco, right?) . Is this an incongruousness or normal living? It struck me as a girl searching for answers on three different paths: one of material goods, one of Jesus and one of Buddha. Which one will she choose? I know for which one I'm praying.
As she was finishing her checkout she glanced up and smiled at me. Did she know what I was thinking, had she heard the conversation going on in my head? I may never know, but I know that she is covered.
