Mocha for Me
I live on a very busy street and the morning commute can sometimes be almost unbearable.
One morning, I let a car out of a side street and proceeded on my way to my favorite drive thru coffee shop. When it was my turn I ordered my mocha and as I went to pay she told me that the car in front of me had paid for me because I had let them out in traffic and they noticed I had gone to the same coffee place that they had!!!
Now that inspired me to do likewise and occassionally that is what I do---pay it forward!!! A small kindness like letting someone out in traffic can make someone's day! And the bonus this time was a mocha!! Totally unexpected blessing! It works both ways!

Helping Homeless Harry
I am on staff at a church and we often get homeless folks that come in and need assistance. Part of my job is to try to help folks out, which is an awesome thing.
This week I have made a new friend and am touched by his genuineness and willingness to do what he needs to do to get out of his situation. I have been able to help him with some food, gas, hooking him up with job possibilities and helping him get his car window repaired.
While these are all physical things, I have been blessed by the interaction that we have had and have probably learned more from this man than any church member!!!
The thing that sticks in my mind the most is that Harry has thanked me time and time again over the past week for my smile and for always being welcoming.
In the process of blessing him, I think I have been blessed!
