Funny Story With A Big Meaning

So it has been TOO long since I've blogged....sorry about that.

One story that I would like to share with you happened like 2 months ago, but I just didn't blog about it.

Ok so one Sunday night my brother, Preston, and I were on our way home to spend the night and I wasn't really having a good day so him and I decided to stop by Wal-Mart to get pints of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I've had many meetings with Ben & Jerry and they've helped me through a lot of crap that life has thrown at me ;)

So anyway....we get to the check-out lane and the cashier was giving us this look like "shame on you two". I knew that look because I'm black and she happened to be black so yeah....
She came out and said "you DO know that we have bigger containers of ice cream for half the price of this lil thang right?" My brother and I just kind of looked at each other and said "yeah we know hahaha". Then she was all like "I almost didn't ring this up for you because I want you to save money...mmm mmm". If you know me at all, then you should know how much fun I was having with this whole conversation.
After we checked out she said the routine "have a good night".

What I took from that whole experience was this; She was telling me how to save money, when I could have told her how to save her life. No one was really around and we were the only two people in Wal-Mart. I had plenty of time to share The Gospel with that woman and I didn't realize that I missed an opportunity until I got home.

With that said....how do you live your life? Is Christ shining through you or is He hidden behind your facade? Do you take every opportunity that comes your way to share Christ with other people?

It's just something to think about.
