Garbage Men and Coffee

Our garbage men or working today.  I heard them in the pre-dawn hours as they were making their rounds.  I was sitting in the dark listening to the coffee maker.  I am reading in Judges and several times the scriptures said, “The angel of the Lord appeared…”  I do not know why early morning darkness, quite and coffee are so favorable to states of reflection.  It caused me to think about how a contemporary version of the Christmas story might read…”and there were garbage men making their rounds collecting the refuge of our culture when suddenly an angle of the Lord appeared to them…”

You never know who God is going to reveal Himself to but it always seems, well, rather Godly.  It could be that garbage men would drop my can, abandon their truck and hurry off to Bethlehem while I was busy at the mall.
