it was a beautiful morning
sun shining, blue skies
still a little chill in the air
everything was right in my world
a quick stop on my way to school
"large ice tea of caffeine, please"
for a refreshing pick-me-up
everything was right in my world
i paid and quickly asked,
"how much for the order
for the lady behind me?"
everything was right in my world
something i have never done before
"i'm going to pay for her too"
and i handed over a five dollar bill
everything was right in my world
i'll never forget the memory
the contagious smile on her face
and the feeling inside my heart
everything was right in my world
my smile created a joyous
interaction with the server
making each other feel like we matter
everything was right in my world
my smile created a joyous
interaction with the server
making each other feel like we matter
everything was right in my world
and then the message of the day
sang in my ears on the radio
ephesians 5:2
everything was right in my world
'and walk in the way of love, just
as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us
as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God'
everything was right in my world
it was only a gift of a little breakfast
love for a stranger that i'll never know
all because for me at that moment
everything was right in my world

What a thoughtful, caring moment! Love the poem and I'm sure the lady behind you had a smile on her face all day long. And to receive the message from Ephesians at that moment. Yes, everything is right in our world. Love ya, Mom
ReplyDeleteOh Michelle, this is lovely, & I love that you came around full circle in it too. I've done this a few times, but mostly I was out the door before I saw the response. It really is almost like a gift to you, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely feeling -giving! People don't open themselves up to it enough. Thank you for reminding me of this joy.
ReplyDeleteI am sure that stranger was saying the same thing - everything is right in my world!
ReplyDeleteOh so wonderful! I love how you wrote it and how you showed love for a stranger.
