random bits of sunshine

I love finding random bits of sunshine in life--those little moments that bring a smile to your face and give you a tiny glimpse of something more than just day to day life. Today, for instance, I have had several little moments like that.

While I was at work serving lunch today, a guy in line randomly asked me how he knew me. I didn't recognize him at first...but after he told me his name, I knew where I knew him from. He was one of my students when I was an Supplemental Instruction Leader in economics. It was funny because as soon as I heard his name, my brain immediately went to his file and recalled almost everything I knew about him. I always enjoyed him as a student because he was actually interested in doing well, and he grasped the material. That was a ray of sunshine.

I decided on my way to Potter's after I got off work, that I wanted to get lunch from Panera. It was one of the most delightful ordering experiences I've had there in a long time. My cashier even told me a nerdy joke (my favorite kind of jokes) while my receipt was printing.

Scene: two molecules are walking down the street
Molecule 1: I think I lost an electron.
Molecule 2: Are you sure?
Molecule 1: Yep, I'm positive.

hahahahahahaha cheesiness and nerdiness in the same joke...does it get any better? ;)

Those are the moments when I realize that there is more to life than the day to day living, and it makes me happy.

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.
" - Psalm 84:11

God is the sunshine that peeks through my life in random places reminding me that He is still there.

Peace and Mercy.
