I saw it sitting on top of the gas pump this morning. Half full. Lid still on. Steam barely visible in the cold air. Someone had forgotten it there or meant to come back. Cars moved around it. People swiped cards, opened doors, kept moving. Nobody touched it. It sat near the numbers on the screen like a small pause in the middle of everyone else’s hurry. I remember wondering what interrupted the person holding it. A phone call. Bad news. A child crying in the backseat. Maybe nothing dramatic at all. Maybe they simply drove away distracted and remembered it three miles later. The coffee stayed there through two full pump cycles beside it. Cooling slowly. “Be very careful, then, how you live— not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.” (Ephesians 5:15–16) Most moments leave quietly. Not with endings. Not with music. Just small abandonments people don’t realize are happening until later. A forgotten cup. A missed sentence. A goodbye assumed to have another chance behind it. Eventually someone threw it away. No ceremony. No recognition. Just a hand lifting it from the pump and disappearing into the trash can beside the door. But for a few minutes that morning, it looked like something waiting for the person who set it down to remember they had left part of their morning behind.
