prisonchaplain Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Sometimes God uses life's little stresses to remind us that his image can be found in the mercy and grace of strangers. I was headed through the drive up line at Starbucks, had just ordered an $8 drink (because it was free), and realized I did not have my wallet. I pulled into a parking spot, and began looking hurriedly through my trunk and back seat. A fellow drives up--the guy behind me in the line, and asks if I need coffee money, since I've lost my wallet. Figuring I'll find it, I thank him, and say it's okay. I sure did not want him paying $8! A couple minutes later the Starbucks barista comes up to my car and hands me the drink. He says it's free, and wishes me luck finding my wallet. I did find it. More important though is that God reminded me of what he's supposed to look like in me--through the grace and mercy of others. Thanks Starbucks stranger. Thanks Mr. barista. Lord, let me demonstrate mercy and grace to others, whenever the opportunity arises! Maureen, zil, Blackmarch and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
