ACE #389: Thank You, Abbie

Yesterday morning, I had to go into another building to take care of some business. I didn't do anything different. I dressed like I normally do. I had a smile on may face like I normally do. I was just moving about like I always do.

When I reached the building, I saw a co-worker. I was greeted with a hello and a polite gesture as he opened the door for me. Upon entering, I noticed he had his beautiful children with him. As I cordially greeted each of them, I continued toward my destination. As I was departing, the co-worker asked if I would stop by his office when I had completed my mission.

After I finished taking care of my business, I made my way to his office. Before we got down to business, he said to me,

"I told my daughter that you were a preacher and she said, 'I can tell."'

Wow! It amazes me how God dresses you up so that even a beautiful child can recognize your gift. As I said, I thought I looked normal. But God shows otherwise. Thank you, Abbie, for noticing the gift in me when I couldn't see it in myself.

1 Corinthians 12

⁴ There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 

⁵ There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 

⁶ There are different kinds of working, 

but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
