Conversation

My job for the last six weeks at the hospital has been to work in the Out Patient Services area. I am supposed to make sure that people check in at the front desk for an appointment in Out Patient Services. If they don't check in, I send them back to the front desk to do so. If they don't check in, they will come over, have a seat, and no one will call them because they don't know that they are there. So it has been my job for the last six Monday's to make sure that doesn't happen.

Yesterday, while manning my post, a woman came toward me with a big smile on her face. I told her good morning, and she said the same thing back to me. I asked her how she was doing, and she said "ah, just ok". I told her that she had a big smile on her face, that counted for something.

After her appointment was over, she came up to me and started up a conversation. I have a button on my uniform that says "I Pray". She asked me about that. I asked her if she wanted the long story, or the short story? She told me to tell her everything, so I did. I told her that I was given a button at Christmas time that said " Merry Christmas, God with us". Well since it was after Christmas, I couldn't really wear that anymore. I told her I went on a search for a new button to wear, and that is what I came up with. I told her that I found a pack of three buttons, but this is the only one that was good enough to wear on my uniform. She then asked me where I found them at. I told her the name of the store and how to get there.

She then proceeded to tell me how wonderful it was to meet a fellow Christian working at the hospital. I said to her, if I had to guess, I would have guessed that she was a Christian, just from the smile on her face when she first came in. The Jesus in me, recognized the Jesus in her! I told her that I volunteer there for the Lord, first and foremost. She said "GOD bless" for doing that and giving of my time. I told her thank you, and that I really enjoyed doing it. She then told me her name and that she had to get going. I wished her a great and blessed day!

Once again, I love being able to talk about GOD, Jesus, my faith, in a public place and not have to fear any trouble for it. I praise GOD for my boldness to do so. I will continue to do so as long as I work there. All the glory to GOD!!
