UNEXPECTED GIFT OPPORTUNITY

WAS TREATING MYSELF TO BREAKFAST THIS MORNING AT A LOCAL RESTAURANT AND RAN INTO A FRIEND WHO WAS ALSO THERE...HE INTRODUCED ME TO HIS FRIEND...A SOLDIER WHO WILL BE RETURNING TO IRAQ IN A FEW DAYS...AS I FINISHED MY MEAL, I KNEW THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THEIR MEAL...THE YOUNG WOMEN, WHO WAS THE SOLDIER, SEEMED SO SURPRISED...SHE GOT UP AND HUGGED AND THANKED ME PROFUSELY... FELT SO BLESSED THAT THIS WAS A GIFT THAT PRESENTED ITSELF. NO MATTER WHAT OUR POLITICS ARE...THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING A JOB THAT PUTS THEM IN HARMS WAY...PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL OUR TROOPS WHEREVER THEY ARE.
