Have you ever had a wonderful day? No, I don't mean just four hours of the day being the best. I hadn't realized how bad my days are until I actually had a good one. My wonderful day was Friday, I'll explain...I didn't encounter any roughness or cursing at work and everything went smoothly, which never happiness. Got off work and had my car inspected and it passed with flying colors. I don't know if you had ever had the feeling of waiting to see if you car passes the EXAM and praying for your little revving engine to keep you on the road. So when the guy comes to you and tells you how much the inspection is your sigh of relief is really a thank you JESUS. I wanted to reward my car for passing so I went ahead and took it to get an oil change. Came home and a few short hours my father n law with Becky and Emma came over and fixed our shower. See how many more little blessings I'm talking about. After that they treated us to dinner. What more could I ask for. I like hanging out with them I think it's because after knowing them for so long I can actually act like myself around them. They even know the moment I'm about to cry when watching a sad movie. Enough about my wonderful day. I mean I know I wont get many of those days. Think about it, how many wonderful days have you had that didn't involve doing something spectacular?
There are small angels in disguise around us we just don't realize who they are because we don't take time to see. I spotted an angel Sunday. Someone I work with had two stuffed animals that he had just won from the claw machine (a glass see through big box that you put quarters in to have a big claw come down and try to win something inside). He saw me and was going to give me one but I said that's okay not really a big fan of stuffed animals. Two other people approached him and asked for them instead. He went ahead and gave them away. He said he wins them all the time. I asked who he gives them too, maybe he was going to give them to someone at home. He told me he gives them to the hospital for the children with cancer. So before he gave those two away I said well keep them don't give them away. He replied and said "that's okay I'll get more tomorrow". He let them accumulate once and ended up taking four trash bags of stuffed animals. They put a big smile on those kid's faces. My view of this man changed and I told him he had a gift. He said "I never thought of it that way. Imagine fifty cents buying happiness to a child that has cancer. The small things in life that bring joy are priceless. We often see people and don't realize what they have offered this world. Here is an angel disguised as just a working man that doesn't bother anyone and just goes about his daily routine not realizing how many children he gets to make happy.
I ended bringing one of the two stuffed animals home anyways, to my stuffed animal lover. How you may ask? One of the lovely ladies that wanted one ended up with one that she couldn't quite give to her little nephew so she ended up
giving it to me. What ever it says on it is what I really mean with all my heart.
