I was sitting in the lobby of the Sequim High school auditorium last night, waiting for my siblings to finish rehearsals. I had been practicing my Ukulele to pass the time, and about an hour and a half through the rehearsal, I heard a voice call my name. Mrs. Cowan, a mom to some of the other kids in the play, and a friend from the home-school co-op said to me, "we're headed out to get dinner. Do you need anything?" I stammered for a bit as my brain was waking up from daydreaming. "Umm, I.. guess, umm"
"What kind of Soda do you like?"
"Mountain Dew"
"Alright, we'll back in a few minutes"
A few minutes later they returned, and handed me a Mountain Dew. It was an extraordinarily simple gesture. But it encouraged me in a way that I have a hard time describing. Offering a can of soda from was an expression of Christ's love to me, in an unassuming and subtle way. Just a small act of kindness, changed my entire outlook of the day. So, Thank you Mrs. Cowan. Thank you for taking a few moments to ask me what kind of soda I wanted. I truly appreciate it!
Don't underestimate the impact you can have on someone with a can of soda! Show love to others in little ways. Be an expression of Christ. Even if it seems like such a small act, it can impact a person's day, or even a persons life.
God bless!
