Just A Smile

Looking at this does not make me smile.


The best I can do when I look at my cleaning cart every day is try to remember that it provides the means to my monthly mortgage payment. I don't exactly smile, but I am thankful.

But, today I was reminded how really small things can matter.

As I was pushing my cart through the warehouse one of the shift workers came down the same aisle as me. He was driving a tow motor and stopped beside me. I smiled and said hi and he said, "I've been looking for you! I was afraid I was going to miss seeing you today."

"Why is that?" I asked and his answer gave me pause.

"Because," he said. "Some days you're the only person who ever smiles at me."

Very humble, God moment.
