What we're missing...

The other day I saw a video on my bloggy buddy Gretta's blog...

This video was showing an "experiment" that some people wanted to do.  They taped one hundred $1.00 bills on a tree.  They wanted to see how people would react.  What happened isnt what they originally thought would happen...

You have to watch it to look at these people who just walk not noticing the tree, with cash hanging off of it,  at all...

There are people who glance at it & then still just walk right by it...

There are also ones who see it, look at it, even take pictures with the tree & laugh & make phone calls & then still, just walk away...

The person that gets me the most is the man who sees the one bill on the ground & he rides over it on his bike to stop it from blowing & he picks up the bill & bikes away... not once - NOT ONCE, does he look up!  More right above his head & he doesnt even see it!!!!

This fun little experiment was a wake up call for me ...

How much do I walk right by in life?  The blessings that God puts in my path that I just simply dont see?

Or worse, like the man on the bike - do I get a blessing & only walk away with a small portion of what God is wanting me to have?

What are we not noticing in our lives? ... What are we missing? ...

May God open our eyes to see all the Blessings He has given us...

  3. GREAT video! As a social sciences major, I am always fascinated by humans' behavior!! Did you notice the woman in the striped shirt? She took a picture first (making me believe she's a blogger), but then she took about five of those dollar bills!! Good gravy! Girlfriend was buying herself some lunch! heehee

    Neat story, and I love your take on it!

If you noticed I do not respond to your comments, it is because you are a "no reply" blogger and I am unable too!
