I was checking out at the
grocery store, and the cashier said, “I saw that movie.” At first I didn’t know what she meant, but
then I followed her eyes and realized I was wearing my October Baby t-shirt, a movie about a young woman who looks for
answers in her past and hope for her future.
I gave the cashier the
money for my groceries, and we chatted superficially about the movie for a
second.
As she handed me my
receipt, I realized my t-shirt had given me a perfect opportunity bring God
into the conversation, so I quickly tried to think of something to draw God and the movie together.
It’s really good to see that God can take
something hard and turn it into something good. That’s all I said.
Her eyes held mine for just a second, and I tried to speak the truth of
those words to her with that one look.
Maybe telling people about
God isn’t nearly, nearly as hard as I imagine it to be. Maybe it only requires being always attentive for opportunities to speak.
