I saw the lady who delivers our newspaper a few minutes ago. As she made it around our cul-de-sac she got out of her minivan and walked a paper up to the door of a handicapped couple two houses down. This is her daily routine.
I saw her do that at 4:02 AM, not too early to feel an odd mix of emotions. I felt fortunate (that she does that for them) and I felt sad (that they need her do that).
Maybe this is why I got up early today, to see this simple thing. It is a private kindness very few people know about. It won’t make the six o’clock news or be featured in the local section of the paper she leaves at their top step. But it happens every morning and today I saw it.
I’m not sure why I often wake up early. Today I’m glad I did.

It is the simply things that tend to bless the most. How fortunate that you saw this. It obviously had a positive effect on you. Walk with the King today and be a blessing!
