Have you ever experienced the heart warming feeling that you get whenever you do or say something nice to someone when it is totally unexpected?

Love and kindness is very contagious.

And it is an awesome testimony to our Lord. It can be as simple as a smile or a friendly greeting that could make someone’s day.

Going food shopping with my wife has become one of my favorite pastimes.

I used to walk with her, aisle after aisle, until I made the mistake of sneaking candy into the shopping cart! She politely told me that from now on I have to sit on the store’s window sill until she comes to check out the groceries.

This seemingly misfortune turned out to be a blessing for me because I interacted with a lot of people as they passed by me. I have had so many meaningful conversations with complete strangers!

One of my favorite topics is sharing the Gospel and talking about the saving grace that we all can have through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
