Sunday, as is somewhat usual, was pretty busy between church, Sunday School, a meeting, going to a youth's concert, getting back for another meeting, youth group meeting, clean up and lock up of the building, and chatting about said group meeting. Made for a full day. Some really funny and/or cool things occurred and I wanted to put them down, partially to not forget them and partially to break from the rants.
Picture it, the mall, I've pit stopped to run a quick errand on my way to the concert and decided to stop by the restroom (well, don't picture that). On the way out a young lad about 8 or 9 years old comes out of the "family" restroom with his mother. The kid is holding both of his hand up in the air around shoulder height and it seems obvious he does not want to touch the door. The mom turns and reiterates, rather loudly mind you, "Don't touch anything!" The kid responds, "I didn't MOM. I'm just touching MYSELF!" Had to bite the ole lip pretty hard to keep from laughing at that one. Almost wanted to tell the kid he might go blind but that just seemed inappropriate (as well it might be for this blog too). Too funny not to write down.
A former youth member shared her journey with God with us that night and it was one of those, as I call them, "paycheck" moments. I call them that because I have been at my job for over eight years now and though my church takes good care of me, I am only just now making as much money as I was when I went to work for Pepperidge Farm after graduating from UF. But, sometimes, you have these moments where God reveals what He's been doing all along and how you've played some small part in it and Sunday night was one of those nights. The "paycheck" aspect of it comes from the fact that my career at the Farm would not have feature such moments. So less money yes, but moments of clarity in God's call and purpose are pretty much priceless.
Good day all the way around.
