Two heart-felt words

I was not going to write about this encounter further; I believe I referenced it in a previous post. God has been putting this memory on my mind; he's already made a place for it in my heart.

Here's what I wrote about it:

July 20, 2010
On the plane (still in Miami)

I met a guy from Haiti. We met at the ticket counter. I think we both had to pay for an extra bag. He doesn't have much English; I have less French or Creole. I asked him if he was from Haiti; he said "Yes." I told him I was going for the first time. He responded, "Thank you." I was so humbled. It was powerful. We ended up sitting next to each other at the gate. I used a bit of French, which resulted in a response I couldn't understand.

Today I look at the people I meet as a purposeful introduction from God. I realize all interactions are purposeful and from God. I'm too busy taking everything for granted. Today, since I realized yesterday was not my day to arrive in Haiti, I'm aware of how special each interaction truly is. I'm so grateful to be here! It's a beautiful perspective to have. I'm so grateful, God. Thank you for ALL of my trip so far. Yes, ALL of it. You were preparing my heart for Haiti.

Upon reflecting about the "thank you" I received, I realized that my "bad day" yesterday was still a really good day. A bad day is when an earthquake destroys your nation's capital city. I have NO concept of a bad day.

Is there a bad day with God's love?
