My 90-something-year-old granny is in town,
visiting from the gorgeous plains of the Texas panhandle.
thankfully our return from vacation overlapped her stay by a day, so we were able to see her.

the plan was for my parents, grandmother, and my 2 teenage cousins (who are also visiting) to come for lunch today.
this morning, i was praying for my teenaged cousins,
who may or may not know Christ as I do.
who may or may not know Christ as I do.
i ran around the house, steam mopping, dusting, picking up,
prepping chicken, cutting watermelon,
prepping chicken, cutting watermelon,
praying.
i caught myself thinking that one simple lunch wouldn't matter.
my faith wouldn't be noticeable.
they'd eat, they'd leave.
and then I stopped.
and I realized that over the course of my life,
i HAVE had very memorable moments where the kindness of ONE person, in ONE instance,
made a difference in my life.
the counselor at church camp that hugged me as i sat on the wooden steps
under a starry night and cried out to Jesus.
the sweet church lady who prayed with me when I decided to be baptized.
the older girl at college that wrote me an encouraging note.
the seminary professor's wife that welcomed me into her beautiful home for dinner,
graciously visiting and asking me about my life.
the pastor's wife that invited me to her Sunday school class
when i didn't really fit with any other class for the summer.
the co-worker that spoke kind words to me in the teacher's lounge.
those people?
i doubt they have any idea the impact they had on my life in just
one moment.
one conversation.
may I live my life in such a way that those Divine moments,
{most of which I'm not even aware of and won't remember later}
further the cause of Christ.
not for my glory, but for His Great name.
may I be aware that simple conversations?
one small act of Kindess?
they could be remembered forever.
not for my glory, but for His Great name.
may I be aware that simple conversations?

they could be remembered forever.
may I make them worth remembering.
Thank you for that simple reminder, Anna. Once again your words touch my heart.
