Something that made me smile today



I just want to say this. I went back to church for the first time in a long time. The sermon was on the seed in you and you have to break down so the water of God can get in you and change things in your life. I fully enjoyed it and after church I decided to go to a fast food restaurant to get a bite to eat. I’m sitting in the drive thru having just ordered my food. I drove up to the window and the attractive young lady with braids opens the window and asks for the money that I have to pay. I reached out the window and handed her the money when something caught my eye. I could clearly see the other workers working hard inside but I was fixated on this one thing. She could have cheated me out of my money but I saw something on her that was so minute yet so big. He name tag was my focus. You may ask your self why in the world would he be fixated on her nametag. Well this is where it gets funny. I was having a tough morning. My soul wasn’t right when I woke up and all the way up to the time I reached the church steps I was having a tough time. I enjoyed the service as I said before. I was still feeling down yet the transformation was taking place for me to enjoy the second half of my day. Her name tag said, “Julien is my boo.” The tag that was supposed to display her name said that her “boo,” was Julien. I could see this young lady had love for this man as I exit the city of the state I live in back to the suburbs. It made me think about my relationship and wonder if I could still be the “boo” in my wife’s eyes. I know I am but the enemy plays tricks and have me thinking I am not. I couldn’t stop smiling at the love she had for her man. Her hair braided neatly as she swung it to the back and reached me my food, smiled and thanked me. I told Julien’s boo she’s welcome and headed home. That nametag will forever stick in my mind because black love is rare in these days and times. She has a commitment to him and I pray that he has the same for her.

Well, that's an interesting connection, but it's quite cute how young love is... Next week the tag might read I hate Julien... LOL! :)
