Small and Simple Things

This morning I got up and I was not in a good mood. I was tired and you all know when I'm tired I'm not always the best person to be around. I know this about myself and I also know that when I'm tired everything seems worse than it actually is. I was feeling homesick, left out, and kinda lonely. All I wanted to do was go get my stuff done on campus so that I could come home and sleep.

So I went to school and went to my classes and such and when those were over I headed down to the indoor track to do my workout. My workout today was 400 meters of lunges. So I went to it. I was about a quarter way around the track and I stopped for a second to shake out my legs. This little old man came walking the opposite direction and he stopped and said, "hey can you do me a favor?"I was a little confused but I said, "sure." He said, "can you say a prayer for me too while you're down there?" It was the funniest, cutest, and most precious thing I have ever heard. He brought a smile to my face and totally made my day. My bad mood was turned right around. That man has no idea that his little cheesy joke made all the difference today but I am grateful for him.
