Encourage :)

So I have a new job... today was day 5. I'm a waitress, for most of the time, and I promised myself after my job at Denny's I would never waitress again. Yeah, bad experience there. Anyways, I really enjoy my job. Well, I do when I have nice people to serve. I really enjoy it when people sit at the bar, because I get to talk to them and get to know them. This elderly couple came in a few nights ago, and they made a huge impression on me. They are from So Cal, married for 50 years now, and have been on over 20 cruises. Just came back from a 6 week cruise from Australia... no fair!! They love Jesus, and are the most encouraging people I've talked to in quite a while. They said that when they meet someone that they really connect with, they really like to keep in touch. They said I'm welcome to come stay with them in Orange County any time I want! Who does that, really. So cool. The man was telling me everything they learned about me in that short amount of time... I almost cried it was so sweet and encouraging. Just what I needed. At the end, after we took pictures together, hah, they were saying how things like this don't happen on accident. They can't just go to a random city, to a random restaurant, meet a person they completely connect with on accident. It just doesn't work like that... It's God. God puts people in your life for a reason, He has a purpose for it. It's not a coincidence, it's not a lucky occurrence, It's God. Thank Him for how He blesses you. Keep your eyes open for who God brings to you... They might just change your life :)

And if you think about it, be that encourager everyone needs. No one may know they need it, but a little bit of encouragement goes farther than you know. Take Larry and Jane for example, their simple words encouraged me more than they know :)
