Cross roads

Today one of my professors let us out of class for 30 minutes to just sit outside and reflect. The weather in Lakeland has been so beautiful for the past few days. It was such a nice break to relax and meditate in the fresh air. Outside of the class room that my class was held in is a huge fountain and several benches that look toward the Chapel building. When you walk into the chapel it has a huge dome and when you look up, you'll find that all the support beams are crosses. On the outside of the chapel's dome is a small steeple and there's a cross on there as well. That's the cross I was looking at today. (pictured) I couldn't help but stare at this cross although I've seen it a million times.
While I was sitting there watching people frantically walk by for classes they were late for, I was reminded that usually pass by beauty and never notice. It broke my heart a little. I started thinking about how many things I had to accomplish before the day was over and tomorrow's chores- they started to overwhelm me. The tranquil moment under Lakeland's slightly breezy and sunny sky almost evaporated. The next thought I had was about cross roads. I had many miniature cross roads today. I knew that I would have to pass them somehow. I saw the cross again. I knew again how I would deal with the cross roads.
No matter how big or how small your cross roads are today... I hope you remember that in every road there is a cross.
