This morning was a thankful one. I had an extremely rare unexpected day off due to plumbing issues at work. I discovered something. It's harder to find ways to serve God when you're home by yourself for most of the day. Not impossible, but harder. Ditto for practicing active listening.
However, I am noticing that I'm taking more notice of the people around me in public since my mission trip. I am often a "woman on a mission" while out shopping and I've been known to walk right past people that I know. But now I'm finding myself more likely to notice those around me and be open to interacting with them more often. And as is always my custom, I am always ultra polite to all those who wait on me and thank them sincerely.
Tonight there was a small gathering at my church and I tried to help in little ways where I was needed. Assist people with tye dye shirt designs. Pushing kids on swings that needed help. Things like that. I would have done these things anyway, but I was glad to be aware that I was serving as they were happening.
I guess technically these days I'm always a woman on a mission.
