Clear Skies and Country Roads

     So, I am starting my first blog. There isn't much rhyme or reason as to why now, but I feel a desire to share the little parts of life and glorify my Beautiful King by doing so.

     I work at a little diner out in the country called the Cruise In Country Diner.  We are a small establishment, located near a small intersection. We serve mostly organic and local food and make mad milkshakes if ya know what I mean.  We have many wonderful older folks that come in weekly and order their usual, but their are also a large amount of families with lovely babies and rowdy little kids.

  As I was working a standard 10:30-5 shift on Saturday I was blessed beyond belief by a young man. All day I had been quite anxious and had a lot on my mind-one of those days where you just want to get out of your own head-anyways so I'm going about work a little half heartedly when two women and a young man walked in.  They sat down at a booth and I went over to wait on them.  One of the women shared with me that she and her son were here visiting from Vancouver BC. The boy was probably about 20 years old and had some sort of mental disorder. He talked a little bit slow and couldn't quite look me in the eyes. He was so adorable. I took their order and continued about my work, making milkshakes and handing out burgers. I stopped for a second to breathe and looked around the restaurant. All of a sudden, something caught my eye. The young man I had just waited on was outside by himself. He was leaning against the window and staring out at the road.  He was leaning, watching the cars go bye.  As I observed this scene, my eyes lifted and glanced at his facial expression-the biggest of all grins.  There he was, fully content to be outside, on a nice day, watching the cars go by on the rough country roads...

     What if we all took the time to just step back, go outside, and watch the cars go by? So blessed by such a sweet young man on a summer afternoon...

   Now, it's dinner time with Jenna Hope and Miss Emily! Bagel bites and salad yum.....
