The Fruit Salad

A few days ago, both of the girls needed new hairstyles. I decided to do one and called my hairstylist to see if she was available to do the other. Without hesitation she said, “Sure, bring her this evening”. I knew that meant she was willing to adjust her schedule and work later than she had originally planned. I’m thinking to myself…for her act of kindness, I’m going to bless her with a really nice tip.

About an hour later I learned our bank account was in-between blessings; meaning funds were not available to pay the hairstylist. As I reached for my phone to call her back I said to myself, “Humility is a beautiful thing”. I explained our financial situation and cancelled the appointment. Less than five minutes later, my stylist called me back and said, “Stop by Chick-Fil-A and get me a fruit salad and bring that baby”-referring to our youngest teenager. Totally surprised I said, “What? Are you sure?” She said, yes. Remembering my previous article “Just Say Thank You”, I said, “Thank you”.

Not only were we blessed to get my youngest daughter’s hair done, I was also able to do the oldest daughter’s hair right there in the salon. Thanks again, Ms. T.  My plans were to be a blessing and we ended up being blessed instead. Just think…all for a fruit salad!

Do you have a praise report you’d like to share?
