I'm sure that many of you can testify how God has worked in the smallest and most unexpected ways. I am reminded of this today with a simple trip to the Post Office. After standing patiently in line, I hand over our completed notarized packet. I inform the worker that I have stamps and I just need to know how many to put on it. She looks down at the city and replies, "I live in Medina". A bit surprised (because it's nearly two hours north), I smile and proceed to tell her that we will probably be visiting often because that's where our adoption agency is located. Her faces lights up and she proceeds to tell me that both of her children were adopted. She continued on to say how it has been the most rewarding and difficult journey she has experienced in her life. She goes on further sharing more and more about her life.
I left the Post Office with two thoughts. First, it is amazing how personable someone becomes when you show the slightest bit of interest in their life. She was literally smiling from ear to ear and in that short amount of time shared so much about her life. Second, how God can find the smallest ways to encourage you.
When is the last time you stopped to show some interest in someone else's life? Such a simple task can lead to so many opportunities. Opportunities to encourage someone and opportunities to be encouraged.
I hope you all are having a restful weekend!
