A moment to stop and think!

Today at work as I was working very hard ;) I met this fabulous lady ( I don't remember her name and I don't think she knows of the impact she had on me). This lady came up to the service desk and asked about wiring money. Everything I do at the service desk comes so naturally for me now that I just hand the papers over and give a brief ( and depending how long my line is) and rushed explanation on how to fill out the form. I did this tonight and then continued to help the customers behind this lady. There were only a few so I had finished helping them by the time she was done filling it out. when she gave it to me it wasn't complete so I promptly returned the form and told her what information she still needed to give. As I was entering her information into the computer she apologized about it taking longer to fill out the form. I of course reassured her that it wasn't a problem. She then told me that she had a stroke a while back. And that she was doing so much better. We talked for a few minutes and I said that I wished there could be little fairies that came and fixed us. And she looked me in the eye and said it would be nice but that we should all take responsibility for our actions (which I 100% agree with.) I finished her transaction and we talked for a few more minutes and another customer walked up, but for some reason she didn't leave. After I was done helping this customer she said you know my stroke could have been so much worse. My neurologist had a stroke and he became paralyzed. I am so grateful that I am not. She then looked me in the eye and said we just need to be grateful for what we have. I don't think that she will ever know of the impact that she has had on me. I really feel she was the lords mouth piece. She could have left but when she went she hesitated and she stayed to tell me that. I don't know if I will ever see her again but how thankful I am to her and her willingness to tell me her story. It goes to show that we can never know when the Lord might use us as his mouth piece. I am so grateful that my path crossed this Lady's path today! I hope that I can be aware of the promptings of the holy ghost enough to know when I need to be the Lords mouth piece!
