They heard...they saw and I was remembered for __________?

I am learning more and more that people are watching everything I do. Why
should I be surprised, I do the same thing to them? My husband and I love
to sit in the mall with a cup of coffee and enjoy the sights or I mean the
people.

A year or so ago I was at a garage sale miles from my home town and church.
I was calling to my husband to come and look at some goodies when all of a
sudden a voice came from the other side of the table, and said "I know you".
Of course that day I was dressed in my cleaning cloths and my hair and make
up was not the best. When I looked up I really had no idea who she really
was so I needed to ask. Her response to me was "I never would have
recognized you but your voice is what I remember." Interesting I thought.
She had come several times to a "Ladies Nite Out" at my church and heard me
speak there. She remembered my voice.

Oh, if I had been talking fresh to my husband or yelling at my kids in a way
that would not have been a good testimony, would my voice have touched her
ears again? She is not a believer so I invited her to come out again to our
ministry. May my voice always bring pleasant sounds to someone's ears.

Another time I was in the dining room where I work, and as usual lunch was
done and my coffee cup was crying out to be filled. Without thinking I
filled my husbands first and then mine, sat down, took creamers from the
bowl and sugar and past them to him first and then me. He is my first love
next to the Lord and I just look out for him and try to love him in even the
silly ways like this. One of our staff members came to me later and said
that she loves watching us in the dining room and elsewhere and she loves
the silly "Love Things" we do for each other.

Our life should be filled with Joy, Love, Friendship, and most of all the
Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 2:3 (New International Version)

"...He will teach us his ways,

so that we may walk in his paths."

Psalm 32:8 (New International Version)

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go..."

These are very two simple examples of how someone was watching me and
remembered me. My voice was remembered for the words I spoke and my actions
remembered for the love I shared.

What is someone seeing or hearing in you today?
