I stopped at Target on my way home from work today to pick up a few things. As I made my way to the check out lanes a checker opened up his lane for me. He'd rang up my things before on a previous visit to the store.
He's a friendly sort of person and asked me how I was doing and I returned the gesture by asking him as well. His reply is always, "I'm blessed, nothing to complain about here."
I told him that was a good attitude to have. Then he asked me, "Are you a woman of God?"
He said it so softly that I almost did not catch it. I looked up and said, "Yes."
Then he replied, "I can tell you have the spirit of Christ, it's shining out of you. You keep on shining."
It was such a short conversation, but I thought about it all the way home. Sometimes I forget that people CAN see the light of Christ in our eyes and face. They CAN feel the spirit from us.
Good reminder to me on this Valentine's Day - a day to celebrate love. The love all comes from one source and we CAN share it without even knowing it!
