I was standing at the receptionist’s desk in the doctor’s office yesterday. The young lady at the computer paused for a moment and looked up with recognition. “You do Body Pump, don’t you?”
Surprised, I nodded affirmatively. We all try to be pretty anonymous as we glisten together (girls don’t ‘sweat’).
She continued with a seemingly off-the-cuff comment. “You’re so strong!”
We returned to the routine ‘name-and-address-the-same?’ before I took my seat in the waiting area.
Those three little words really struck me. Yes, I’ve graduated to the blue weights with the green and red plates over the past few months. But there are many others who lift double what I do. Still, what she said meant a great deal. My step was a little lighter as I left the office that day. Someone noticed. Someone thought I was strong.
I was encouraged.
Lord, help me to notice those you send my way. Put three words on my lips that will be a blessing to them.
“I love you.”
“I’ll do it.”
“May I help?”
“You’re a blessing.”
For His glory!
