I headed into the post office in a big hurry. I had a number of things on my to do list, but as I entered, I was frustrated to find a long line backing up all the way to the door. Hurry up and wait, I muttered, glancing at my watch. My hand was still in the door when an elderly stranger approached me. I can't get this copier toe work, he said, pointing to the machine behind us. It took my money, and I don't know what to do Immediately, I knew what God wanted me to do. I stepped out of line and was able to fix the problem. In 10 minutes. The man thank me and then left. As I turned to get back in line, it was gone. I walked straight to the service counter. My experience that day reminds me of the words of Jesus give and it will be given to you. A good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. My weight seems shorter because God interrupted my hurry by turning my eyes to others needs and helping me give of my time. He gave me a gift. It's a lesson I hope to remember the next time I look at my watch.
