Today I became the proprietor of a small but thriving office candy bar business with a faithful customer base of 1. Jason, a friend and (now) former coworker gave me his stock of chocolate candy bars that he was selling out of the over-head cabinet in his cubical. He had purchased boxes of M&M's, Snickers, Milky Way, Crunch and others from SAM's club and sold them for $.50 each. Everyone in the office knew he had them and when they needed a chocolate fix, he was there.
Like so many other gifts, this one came out of the blue and was unexpected but is greatly appreciated. Often times, this is how the Lord works. This is not to say that the Lord works in random unpredictable ways but rather that He works through people and the relationships we have with them. The God I serve is a relational person and is at work in the friendships I invest myself in.
Thank you Jason. Your kindness and generosity will be another story I tell over and over again.
