Today's worship service at church starting with Psalm 73.
Psalm 73:25-28:
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;
you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to You.
But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works.
Trader Joe's.
An old man went up to me today. He asked if I was this woman,
whose name he called me . I said no. Then, he just looked at me,
and walked back to his car.
I returned the grocery cart where it belonged. And as I walked back to my
car, I saw the old man standing in front of his. He looked like he was crying.
Or praying.
He, then, looked up and saw me looking at him. I smiled. And he walked
up to me again. He said that when he looks at me, he sees her. 100%, he said.
You look just like her.
His eyes started to glisten with tears. Are you Italian? he asked.
No, I said. He smiled, and started to walk away. You look just like her.
I felt like telling him I cried at church this morning.
It must have been the remnants of tears in my eyes.
It made me think about how we're all broken in some way.
The old man looked sad and disappointed when I said I wasn't her.
I wonder who she was to him.
But whoever she was, his eyes and smile told me he loved her.
Which made me think about how we all carry love in our hearts.
Love that breaks us.
Love that fulfills us.
Love that carries us along.
