Looking Out for One Another


A few Sundays ago my wife and I were riding our motorcycles home from Freedom in Clayton.  A cage driver decided to drive rather close behind us, we payed it no mind and eventually turned off the road. 

It happens.

However, this Sunday we discovered that a brother from church, on his motorcycle, rode a few vehicles behind us that day and saw it happen.   And he did not like the fact that his "brother and sister" were placed in some danger.

He followed the car and had a talk with the man.  He was calm, but firm, explaining in no uncertain terms, why a car should not drive so close to a motorcycle.

I can imagine how this talk might have gone!  I would not have wanted to be on the receiving end of that lecture in motorcycle safety...

And the older gentleman asked him to relay his apologies to us.

Riding home yesterday I noticed this same brother riding behind us and waved.  It was good to know he had our backs.  I kept an eye on him in my review mirror as well. 

Bikers, we look out for one another.

How much more should the body of Christ?

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."" John 13:34-35 (NIV)
