Had one of these moments this morning. Waiting in a long line at the Dollar store, the lady in front of me commented that the gift bags I was about to buy were cute. One little remark led to another, that led to another.....I'm naturally not super-outgoing but I've made it a mission to try and connect with people in a pleasant and positive way, every day, so I took the conversation a little further each time.
I learned that she, like me, has roots in western Pennsylvania. She mentioned Pittsburgh, and I said I was also from Pittsburgh (we are in Philadelphia now) and then she said, well, really I'm from Uniontown (small town south of Pittsburgh) and I said wow, my family is also from near Uniontown and it was on! Just two people passing ten minutes in a busy store, really seeing each other. As we parted, she said, "I'm Susan" and I smiled and said, "I'm Sheryl."
I don’t think this is cheesy at all (…and who doesn’t love cheese anyways? I mean, a world without cheese?- no thank you…Drive-thru! )
What a beautiful experience and, no doubt, divinely crafted.
Thankful that you chose to share this beyond the pages of your journal, because anyone reading this now has also been blessed!
( me: raising my hand & saying, ’present & accounted for’)
I see you paying it forward, with a LOT of HEART, all the time… just by being YOU.
If you had to be immersed in the typical kerfuffle of all things airport’y, what a fine gentleman he was to have as your “wingman” (truly, angel-style.)
Wouldn’t it be something to meet him through your podcast? Your story made me want to hear more of what he has to share, too.
BBQ and the focus on God's will for us versus the never-ending machinations of Satan. Sounds like every trip I take through Charlotte.
Stay focused on the positive and ignore that nasty source of negativity trying to drag you down!

What a lovely Christmas post. Thanks for the “lift!”
Merry Christmas! What's your favorite holiday movie? (Do you like George C. Scott as Scrooge?)
Wow- wow-WOW, Keri!

Sincere gratitude to you,Keri!
Sometimes it might just be God talking to you through him. Vice versa.
Loved this ❤️
