My routine was the same every morning: I'd clock in, walk to the carpentry shop, and throw open the huge metal outside door to help bring fresh air into the room. But this day was different for one reason … when I opened the door, there by the dumpster in the parking lot sat a pickup truck facing me with its parking lights on. It wasn’t the bright headlights; it was just the dim parking lights. All morning long as I worked in the shop I would look out periodically and sure enough, there it still sat with its parking lights on. Finally, after eating my lunch around noon, I came back to the shop and noticed the vehicle was gone. And then my day turned really odd!
As I drove home from work around 4pm and pulled in my driveway, I noticed my neighbor’s truck sitting there with its parking lights on. “Isn’t that strange?” I mused, “He’s never mistakenly done that before. Weird.” Three hours later, after a nap, I was surprised to see they were still on, as I was leaving for the Laundromat. Then, after starting the wash cycle on my clothes, I decided to drive to Subway to get something to eat. As I pulled into Subway, I noticed there was only one car sitting in the parking lot – are you ready for this? – YES, with its parking lights on!!! I was astounded! And then in my astonishment I heard that familiar, seemingly out-of-nowhere, voice speak instantly in my spirit: “
Wow! What could I say? What could I do? I walked into the Subway and saw a man sitting there eating. I said, “Sir, do you know your parking lights are on?” He looked up, mouth full of food, and muttered, “Yeah.” God help us.
With a heavy and sincere heart,
Gabriel
