woke up, couldn't sleep, wasn't exactly in the best mood and I had to go to work at 6 am. I just love days that start out like this, and I'm not being sarcastic. so I get to work and during breakfast I get a present from a friend (totally made me smile), later an older couple I was serving (I'm a waitress on Mondays) asked me to join them in a blessing on their food and in the prayer they prayed for me (so sweet), then at the end of day I was counting up my tips... I had one customer left and we were closing... I noticed I was about $13 short of my average. I figured the guy left would give me a tip no more then $3, so I'd still be short about $10. I talked to him as I was cleaning up the place. He paid for his lunch with a card, then looked in his wallet to give me a tip. all he had was a $20. He gave it to me and said it as a mission contribution. $20 tip! yeah, that never happens unless it's a really big group, and this was only one guy! his meal only cost him $10. It seems some of the best days start out not so great, or maybe I just appreciate the good moments more when I'm not feeling the greatest.... idk.
my only thought today is "I believe there are angels among us, sent down to us from somewhere up above. theycome to you and me in our darkest hour, to show us how to live, to teach us how to give and guide us with a light of love"
I was thinking today and thought I'd share my thoughts somewhere. This seems like a pretty good place. :) I somewhat recently had a friend write to me thanking me for everything I've done for them. They said they didn't know how they could ever repay me. Knowing this person and how much they hae accomplished in their life it just makes me want to tell them "just the way you have lived your life is thanks enough for me." Thinking of that I thought of the Savior. Just looking at all the things he's done for me there are times I wonder how I could ever repay him. I just hope when I go to heaven and see him I can into his loving arms and say "thank you, thank you for all the things you've done for me". I hope when that happens He will be able to say "the way you lived your life is thanks enough for me."
