on monday i was playing volleyball by myself...which was ok :) i needed some time alone. close by the court, there were a bunch of guys working on our new coffee shop/gift shop (which is looking amazing!!). as i served the ball, one of the guys, Charles, looks at me and says, "hey, put a smile on your face, now!"...and i responded with a "yes, sir!". it made me think about the look that must've been on my face...and made me so thankful for a person who kinda called me out and put me in my place.
well, today, i was walking and i saw Charles and i almost walked past him. but i decided to stop and say thanks for what he said on monday. as we talked, he said some things that were just so great: "you know, you never know what someone is going through. we all go through stuff, ya know? and i just wanted to make it better." so thankful. and so thankful for a reminder that we never know what people are going through...so we need to make sure we take life slow enough to speak life to them and take time to remember to give grace.
