Today a memory popped up from 10 years ago. It was a blog post I wrote when I was working for the church in New England. I was taken aback as to how much as changed, and yet so much remains the same, such as the joy of kindness and the beauty of nature. It’s definitely worth sharing.

Random Act of Kindness/Breathtaking Scenery
10/02/2013
I was standing in line to pay for my gas today when the customer at the counter did not have quite enough money to pay for the items she had. The woman behind her dug around in her purse and found some change to make up the balance. The customer thanked her profusely and said maybe she would be able to return the favor some day. The woman told her not to worry about it, but to pay it forward. Everyone in the vicinity left feeling joyful. I found God today in the generosity of a stranger, and I witnessed how a seemingly small random act of kindness affected many people.

TWOFER!
Today I drove to the “North Country”. It was spectacular drive. The weather was perfect and the colors of the foliage were amazing. The further I went, the more beautiful the scenery. The mountains were dotted with reds and oranges amid the evergreens. As the sun peeped in and out from the billowing clouds, it enhanced the depth of the many rolling hills. When the sun hit them just right, the trees were glowing. It was breathtaking. I also found God today in the beauty of creation, and I had a hard time watching the road as I drove through.

I Found God today reflecting 10 years back.
