THE WEEKLY GRIND

I enJOY my java!!! I love the aroma as it wafts through the air. Many wonderful memories have been made in it's company ... books were read, the warmth of glowing fires were enjoyed and laughter or deep conversation were savored. So let's enjoy the journey over a cup!!
FULL BODIED: Recap of the morning worship service.
BOLD: Random acts of kindness.
SKINNY: My journey towards physical wholeness.
THE PRESS: Building my vocabulary.
BREVE: A "short" devotional.
BARISTA: Serving up new healthy recipes.
THANKS A LATTE: Preparing my heart for Sunday worship.

BOLD: Coke ~ The REAL Thing




    This week I was excited to see what opportunity God would bring along my path to do a random act of kindness. I knew that he would be faithful to open the door!!
    I got to work on Wednesday and one of the surveillance officers was down in our office looking for a Coke. She is a diabetic and when she is starting to feel a little woozy she will drink a Coke rather than the typical orange juice. There was not a Coke to be found. I spoke up and told her that I would run to the Village Pantry next door and grab her a Coke. She quickly said she would be fine and that I didn't have to do that. I insisted that it would be my pleasure to help her out and I would be right back. 
    While at the VP I felt like I was suppose to buy her a twelve pack in addition to the cold 20oz bottle that I originally went to purchase. When I arrived back at the office, one of the women that I work with, knew of my New Year's resolution and through chuckles exclaimed: "That's not an act of kindness, that's just pure craziness!!" 
    The woman that I bought the Coke for was deeply touched by my act of going the extra mile. I didn't realize how much impact a twelve pack of Coke could make!! I told my husband it was the best $6.80 that I had spent in a long time. 
    This summer our church had several weeks of Conspiracy Of Kindness Events (acts of service) and because of my work schedule I was not able to participate. This week I finally had my turn  . . . because of some . . . C.O.K.E.!!!


This week . . . LIVE BOLD!!
