{WW} compliment
It was one of those snowy, blowy,
wintery December days, the kind that blows you in the door with snowflakes on
your hair, leaving you shivering even though you’re dressed in warm coat, boots
and gloves. I stamped my feet a couple times and headed through the turnstile
at Canadian Tire. The greeter, a beautiful young Paki lady with long hair gave
me a huge smile. “You’re beautiful!” she said, “You just have this aura about you!”
My cheeks grew hot. “Thank-you,” I said, smiling at her, as she grabbed my arms
and hugged me. We exchanged Merry Christmas’s and I commenced to do my
shopping. I’ve pondered this compliment for a long time. What did this lady
see? I am certainly not a physically beautiful person, but I long so much to
share Jesus with others. I pray that the aura I have about me is Him.
This is neat. ..I've heard several stories like this lately :) my prayer as well
ReplyDeleteYour last 2 sentences are what caught my attention... And reproved me. Made me want to put that inspiration more in the forefront of my life.
ReplyDeleteJo that is beautiful! Inspires me to be more free with compliments for others. And yes that prayer is mine too often I will say a prayer before I leave for a day in town that somehow Jesus can shine through even when my day is long!!
ReplyDeleteInspiring!
ReplyDeleteI wish to be humble when I receive a compliment like this. Usually makes me sit back(mentally) (later)and take stock of things.
ReplyDeleteYou are much more of a heavenly dream in town than I am!!! I doubt I will ever receive a compliment like that - ever. I look angry if I'm not actively beaming at everyone in sight. :( Can you give me some tips??
ReplyDeleteOh, Lyn - Lol! No, it was just a random happening and rather surprising. I'm sure someone will watch you love on your children and think the same!
DeleteThat is such a beautiful story! She surely must have seen Jesus shining through you!
