The little moments

I love the little moments. The ones that you never see coming. Specifically the people that provide them. You are having a horrible day, you need a hug, you think you suck at life... whatever it is. You are in a hole. Of course, God gives you that obligatory slap in the face. The sudden bolt of lightning that lights up the sky and brings you to your knees, only to realized what a fool you have been. Now it is time to begin reconstruction, the process of building back up the confidence and hope that was lost. And most often this takes the form of a person. Someone who might not really know what is going on, or perhaps someone who has no idea at all that you were having a bad day in the first place. A simple: "I'm praying for you," or "Hey, are you OK?" or simply a hug could be just the thing you needed. 

I don't know why God does it, but I am sooooooo glad that He does.

Sincerely,
Scott
