I read an article someone posted this morning. It seems angels have been all over lately- especially in Kmart. They've been paying off people's layaway payments. Figuring that most lay aways are done at Christmas for children's toys, it seems some parents are getting a Christmas gift themselves when they get to the store.
It reminded me of a Christmas a long time ago when my son was little. I was shopping at the toy store at a local mall. I wasn't doing the greatest financially, but I was ok. I got up to the register and tried to pay for my son's Christmas toys. There was some error and my card didn't go through. Luckily, there was an ATM nearby so I told them I'd be right back with the cash. By the time I got back to pay for everything, some kind person had paid for everything! I tried to find the person, but it was impossible. To me, that's the meaning of Christmas- being kind and loving to everyone whether we know them or not.
So, during this season of advent, I see God in the kindness of strangers.
Luke 10:37
37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.”
Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”
Blessings,
Jennifer
