God Bless Everyone

by @ 11:25 pm. Filed under Epiphanies, Life, The Journey. [add to del.icio.us]

The girl at Chick Fillet handed me my food and as I turned and took the first few steps toward a table, I heard her say very softly, “God bless you.” Since I was several steps away and there were many people in the room and it was quite noisy, and she muttered the words very softly, it was apparent that she didn’t think I had heard, did not intend the words to be heard.

As I ate, I started thinking. What if you were to say a prayer for every person you interacted with during the day. Every person you met. Even those with whom the interaction was adversarial. How would such a habit affect you? I think it would transform your life.

I’m going to try it and see.
