The other day while I was in line at the small market near my place, a man was trying several cards to see which one he had money available on. The cashier, a patient teen girl, was trying to help him. She is in high school and from what I can tell, has a difficult life.

The man looked at me and said, “she doesn’t know what she is doing.” I was not going to let that go. I looked at him and said, “You’re wrong. She knows what she is doing. You don’t. You are the one having a problem.” The young cashiers’ eyes had a look of surprise that someone stood up for her. The man looked away and said nothing.

It was a short simple encounter. But when I left the store, I remembered that last time I saw the cashier, I told her Jesus loves you. So I wonder if the timing of the man being a jerk and me speaking up for her was a bit of divine timing to water the seed of thought of Jesus loves you.

Daily interactions that might seem commonplace can be divine set ups if we are open to God leading us.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
