Sometimes there are days where you can’t even make a story up.
While visiting one of our clients in the hospital, it was placed on my heart to buy an extra coffee and give it to someone who might need a little joy that day. I asked the cashier to randomly choose one, and she handed me a caramel latte.
Later, after a long day, I stepped off the elevator on the wrong floor by accident. As I turned around, a woman rushed past saying she needed to go get a coffee for a coworker who was having one of the worst days she’d had in a long time.
In that moment, it clicked.
I stopped her and said, “Actually, I think I already have the coffee for her.”
She led me back to meet Barb. When I handed her the drink and told her it had been placed on my heart to bring someone joy today, she became emotional.
Then she asked what kind it was.
A caramel latte.
Her favorite.
We shared a moment of prayer, and I went about my day.
If you see this today, take a moment to spread a little joy. Sometimes joy isn’t something we find — it’s something we create. ✨
