Simple Words
=============

I had a MountainWings Moment today.

I just moved to a new town where I don't know anyone.  I've had
phone conversations with friends and family but not a single
face-to-face conversation with anyone in the two weeks I've been
here.

Since I've moved, I've gotten in the habit of stopping at the
same convenience store each morning for a cup of coffee.

This morning, the owner recognized me from coming in every day
and commented on it.  We had a brief conversation, and as I
turned to leave, he said, "God bless you; you are so nice."

Those words stayed with me for the rest of the day.  He had no
way of knowing how grateful I was for that simple conversation,
and I was probably the only person that day who recognized him
as a person, not just the man behind the counter.

In a time when people seem so scared to talk about God, his
simple words "God bless you," touched me more than I can explain.

It was a MountainWings Moment.

When did you last recognize the person behind the counter?
