Look What A Customer Blessed Me With...

I do not know if you know that I not only work a full-time job at 40 (sometimes 40+) hours a week. I also work a part-time job a few hours a week also. Believe it or not, I have a Bachelor of Arts degree and even with that I still have to work two jobs to attempt to meet the basic necessities of life. Trust me when I share with you that I do not live an extravagant lifestyle. I was hired last year for a part-time job working in the retail arena. The employer is great at training their staff and I truly do enjoy interacting with customers. I must share this with you, I love when they assign me to be the person that samples products with the customers. I love to engage the customers and I bring excitement to them with the enthusiasm I share with them as they try the products I am sampling that day.
This past week I was at work and a customer asked information. I let them know I would seek out the information so I could give them the right answer to their inquiry and not a passive answer. Does that make sense. You never know who you are touching when you want to serve others and sometimes it is after the fact when you realize just how important that question you sought out the information for really meant to that person. You do know that people can detect when someone is not sincere or they are just saying something to be able to say something. I sought out the information with the help of another person. Received the proper information and then sought out the customer and shared the information.
I went back to my work area and someone told me that a customer wanted to speak with me. That they had something for me also. I first asked if it was OK to receive something from a customer and I was told it was OK. I then went to them and I was told that because of the service I gave to her sister that she wanted to give me something. This is what she makes and gives to others. I think this is such a novel way to bless another person. She handed it to me with the shirt/pant object facing me. It was when I walked away and showed someone what I received that I then noticed the scripture verse on the back side. What a great way to share the gospel message with others along with a $2.00 tip, creativity shared with you.
Remember when I shared with you how I like to bless others that take care of my room when I travel and stay in a hotel? I leave a cash tip on the night stand with a scripture verse for that person to find when I check out. I think this could also work for that very purpose too. I would have to take this apart to figure out how to create this. I think I can do it. If I can see a necklace and handcraft a bracelet to go along with it (just because I could not find one to match in the store) then surely I could learn this great way to bless another person.
Lesson learned in all of this. When you have a heart to share and help others and you do it then you just never know who God has set up that very day to come across your path and bless you when you least expect it. Not only the immediate blessing but now I was shown a clever way to share a blessing with another person and then type up my favorite scripture verse to go along with it. Another thought...I use to leave the monetary tip for the hotel employee tucked into a witnessing booklet or a scripture verse I wrote out for them. This would be a great way to leave it the same way too.
I hope my sharing with you today will cause you to get a little bolder, you know you really want to deep down inside right. Step out in faith, there are so many people that want to hear the gospel message. Share it with them and you will be glad that you did.
