If you read my post yesterday. then you will have noticed that it was a bit of a challenging day. I was really having a tough time remaining calm and monitoring my patience due to the mishaps from Medicaid. I had a few hours to kill so I chose to go to meet with a friend/pastor at my church. Do you ever have those brief moments where you are feeling a little defeated? Well, I was having one of those moments…At times, it seems that the biggest obstacles in this life of mine is other people. Those of you who are reading this that have children with special needs you may know exactly what I am talking about. I wish Government & State workers at time would give a little more understanding, patience, & kindness when needed. I’m not gonna get started on that one…I’ll get to my point of this entry.
I was in the Coffee Shop standing in line to get a coffee. As I was in line I was reflecting on the day. I was really spent and said a private prayer for God to shed light on some of the obstacles I was currently experiencing yesterday. After the prayer, I lifted my head and I saw this young man in front of me. This man has Down Syndrome. He was smiling ear to ear. You want to know why he was smiling? He was simply smiling because the two young guys behind the counter put whip cream on the ice water that he ordered. Even though I couldn’t see the young man’s face I could feel his joy. From his joy the two young guys behind the counter were spreading the joy, and once I got up there…I began to feel the joy. Isn’t that just the coolest? It happened in a second!
God answer my prayer in a second and it took a second for that young man with Down Syndrome to spread joy throughout that entire Coffee Shop. I realized that I was choosing to feel defeated. I implanted that happiness from that young man in my heart yesterday…and the rest of my day became better and better. I’m really grateful for that Angel in line and the two behind the counter. God is pretty sneaky…He knows hot to pull my heartstrings.
Until Next Time,
