Sometimes one pair beats another pair

Spending some time working this morning at a coffee shop. Downloading some stuff for our church's 'next step' classes.
Heard a pair of people speaking together. They spent the majority of their conversation talking about key relationships and spoke openly about Jesus Christ and their love for His Word. They left with an embrace and a prayer together.
Heard another pair of people speaking together. Similar age, same gender, different conversation. Their focus was shoes, makeup, skin care, current films, fashion standards, and such.
Matthew 10:32-33 speaks of us 'acknowledging' Christ to people. On that count, one 'pair' today beat the other 'pair' in the content of their conversations.
Now... to be fair, overhearing a random pair of strangers twice in a morning does NOT speak directly of their character. It just reminds me of the need for all those who call the name of Christ as their Lord to be willing at any moment in any setting to acknowledge Him - to name Him aloud as their leader, healer, and Savior.
Next time you're in a coffee shop (or awake anywhere), acknowledge Him. And expect a smile on His face and a joy in your own heart.
