Was it an accident
was it a mistake
or was it a blessing. . . ?
She was a new waitress and she inadvertently gave me the check of somebody else after she’d already given me my check.
Two things: instead of making her feel like a Queen Duh or worst, getting offended; I thanked her.
She looked shocked and embarrassed. And then I explained that sometimes a blessing finds you without looking for it;
confused I continued by admitting I’m the most selfish customer she’s ever had. . .
By doing something
GOOD
KIND
CARING
COMPASSIONATE
LOVING
it actually makes me feel better—SELFISH
and that sometimes I get to be real
S E L F I S H
when an accident
and a mistake
h a p p e n s
like getting my check and someone else’s and
THAT’S
when it turns into a
B L E S S I N G. . .
I don’t know if she fully got it
But I did
I told her to tell the lady who’s check she gave me,
“SOMEBODY OWED HER, AND THANK YOU.”
So was it an accident
was it a mistake
or was it a blessing. . .
Sometimes it takes a while to figure that out
and at other times it’s sledge hammer
right-between-the-eyes-knock-you-to-your-knees-watch-the-funk-pour-out enlightening:
The accident and mistake equal
THE BLESSING
ITS PURE MATH;
Even more sure than 1+1=2
but we would never bet our life on it. . .
Do it. . .
Make the bet
Don’t read a blog post and wonder if it’s
true/false
real/fake
Make THE BET
and find out once and for all:
IT’s ALL A BLESSING—
especially when it looks like it never adds
UP RIGHT
