We exchanged pleasantries….
Me: “Hi, how are you today?”
Him: “Great, great…how are you?”
Me: “I’m here.”
As I was ringing up his groceries and putting them in plastic bags, he said to me……
Him: “It really is a great day out there and getting better every moment.”
I turned to look out the front window of the store and all I saw were dark angry clouds with nonstop torrential rain. It looked as if a river was running through the front parking lot. So I turned to observe this customer a little more closely…maybe he was a little tipsy…maybe stoned. He caught my eye as I handed him back his change and he said to me…..
Him: “Great things are coming your way from this moment on. Just you wait and see.”
Me: “What, are you a messenger?”
As soon as I asked that question I thought to myself ‘ Theresa, you really shouldn’t ask questions like that. Especially around these areas. People will look at you as if you’re NUTS! ‘
But the man picked up his 2 plastic bags of groceries and turned to walk towards the exit and as he made his way he looked over his shoulder at me and said….
Him: “Me? A messenger? Noooooo….I’m God Himself!” and out the door he went.
I folded my arms across my chest and leaned back against my register and stared out the front window saying to myself…..”hmmmmmmmm”
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that, some have entertained angels without knowing it. ~ Hebrews 13:1-2
