Oh the Joys of Working
I don't were a sign around my neck indicating which religion i do or do not choose to follow; shouldn't my body language speak that for me? I don't speak words of the bible in public places, I don't go out of my way to tell someone of the amazing things God has done in my life and in the lives around me. I work in a public place, I'm not told to not share my religious beleifs, however along with many other jobs, it's not really something I'm trying to bring up in conversation as i'm ringing their various types of flowers through the computer.
As far as flowers go, this time marks an end, there are few people that come in to buy flowers so it becomes a bit easier to remember customers that have been walking by. One guy stuck out to me, he was wearing nice clothes (not ripped or stained) but nothing that I noticed to be name brand, he was talking on his cell phone the majority of the time he was there...I suppose I would say he came off as a bit stuck up. He finally hung up his cell phone and came to ask me a few questions. He was looking at a few damaged items and said he didn't want them unless he got them at a discounted price(no biggie i suppose.) I took a few dollars off the item, he proceeded to talk to another employee in which he tried to get another bargin on an item...he succeeded, when he came to pay i mentioned the bargin he got. He stood quietly for a moment and proceeded to say a bible verse about asking and recieving (yes, this slightly appeared to be stuck up guy mentioned the bible:O) I thought that was out of the ordinary, he continued to say he was involved in Christian ministries and the passion he had for what he did. Due to the lack of buisness we had at the time we talked for a few minutes about it, then he asked if I was a believer and i anwsered yes and he rejoiced in that. This middle aged guy a couple hours away from home said to me in the nicest way possible that I have a light and i should let it shine, don't hide it behind a bush (the song). He didnt know me, nor me him; we'll probably never see each other again, yet he gave me wisdom that I may carry with me throughout the rest of my life.
This story probably seems very minute to all of you; but hey, i though it was cool:-)

That's very true; it's kind of sad...I would love to know what God's plan is and has been over the past few months..
