Emphasis Preaching Journal

An elderly woman was walking carefully down the sidewalk in her affluent neighborhood on a bright winter day. Most of the ice was gone from the cement, but snow was piled high on both sides of the walkway. Coming around a corner, she nearly collided with some children sledding down their sloping front yard. Stepping back quickly, the woman overstepped the sidewalk and found herself lying in a large drift of snow. "Don't you know who I am?" she yelled in frustration as she clumsily tried to extricate herself from the snowbank.
