Gif and me enjoying fresh coconuts
"Oh, my elbow hurts. I think it's bruised." Gif said as she rubbed the sore spot.
"What happened?" I asked.
"While I was on the bus the ticket lady accidently hit me with her metal ticket holder. But, oh, that's okay. I'll be okay. She spoke very kindly and apologized. I could see she felt bad. Then I started eating a snack on the bus ride, you know, those twisted bread cookies. Well, I offered one to the ticket lady. She was so surprised because she had just bumped into me. She thought I would be angry with her, but I gave her a snack instead."
Gif's bus story filled my heart with joy. The beauty of loving with Christ's love is that it's not dependent on how others treat us. It's a love that really stands out.
