A Funny Thing Happened On the Way...

Tonight I was in a church parking lot, its raining, cold and I'm loaded down with snacks. I step out of my car, and a man behind me says, Excuse me, Miss?

Backstory: If we've met, you know I'm not exactly a force to be reckoned with physically. I'm short, "delicate" aka I could definitely use a bit more meat on my bones. So when random men call out for me in a parking lot, church or not, I think, alright, how is this going to play out?

Back to reality. The gentleman, in a suit and tie, says, is that an S40? Yes, sir. Is that your car? (I kind of smile at this because I've just gotten out of the driver seat, but reply, Yes, sir, it's mine. ) Do you like it? Um, yes sir. Good. I'm thinking about buying my daughter one. Then I go a little bit into detail about why I like my car. Well, as much detail as I wanted to go into considering its still cold, rainy and I'm still loaded down with stuff.

On my way home I was giggling with God about how random it is that He makes my life so, well, random. Random to me, but not random to Him at all and there's something just so amazing about that.
