Too Busy

I was running late to work this morning and I didn't get a cup of coffee, so my wife and I quickly stopped at a gas station to grab a cup quickly and as I was getting back into my car an elderly man stopped me and asked me for directions. I gave him directions quickly, checking my watch, and went to get into the car, but he continued to clarify the directions and ask me if I was late. I was getting a little a frustrated because I wanted to be at work already when it hit me, this is what it is all about, relationships. Jesus was ALL about relationships. He was never too busy, he was never in a hurry to leave a conversation, and he was always there in the moment, not worried about what he was missing or what he was "late" for. I have been preoccupied many times in a conversation, and I have to wonder, if its all about relationships and having those conversations shouldn't we be MOST concerned with the conversation we are having right now and not the one we will have later that day or tomorrow? Can we change the world forever by just being concerned with our conversation or relationship right now?
