Today was a great day. I have to say that this morning did not start out the best. When I arrived at work all of the phone lines were down. No one could call in or out and we did not have the intercom system either. I made the phone calls that needed to be made and it was going to be 4 hours before anyone would show up. I have to say it was nice not having the phones ring, very quite. Later in the afternoon I was helping at the registers and a man sat down near the door and the alarm went off. I went over to him and moved his cart, letting him know why the alarm was going off. He looked at me add with all seriousness he said, "I bet I know something about you that you don't know I know." Well, my curious cat inside responded, "really, what?" He looked me in the eyes and said, " You are a child of God, aren't you!?" I can say that in that moment I felt taller and replied, " Yes, I am." He then went on to tell me that I was radiating God's love through my face and actions. I thanked him and he said, "no, thank you."
My day became brighter and better in that moment. I have always heard that walking God's path will show more then the words we say but I don't always see it. I was proud of myself but then thanked God for what He did. You see, Christ is the only one that shine through us. I get up every morning and try my best to walk the walk. It is a hard road because my flesh likes to take over. I encourage those who know Christ, smile a little bit more, help those who need it and those who don't, be kind to the unkind, and Christ will use you to reach His people.
I hope that you have a greatday. Jenn
Happy Holidays!
