I worked tonight. It was really just like any other shift. Fryers bubbling, people hustling, paper crinkling, wrapping. I was in charge of taking orders on this particular night. 4/5 of my shift went by and things started to slow down. There were probably about 10 or 15 people eating in the dining room. As I finished the last order of the line that had previously existed, I turned around to complete another task needing my attention. I paused though, as I saw a girl, not older than 5 years old scooting up and down the bench in front of me
She saw me, and paused too.
I asked her if she wanted some stickers as we give them out regularly to the kids that come into eat. She shook her head eagerly, but in silence. She slowly walked up to the counter and took them from my offering hand. Before I could turn to walk away, she looked me in the eyes and said, "Do you want me to pick one out for you to have?" I looked at her and couldn't help but smile. She picked one out for me and I placed it in my pocket.
To her, it was just a sticker, but to me, it will now be a daily reminder of the charity I should have in my heart everyday day.
How often am I sharing my stickers with others?? Whom will I serve today?
