Needless to say that I was kind of tired and knew that I had to wake up in 3 hours to go to work. As if to add to my pains I couldn't fall asleep until about 6:30 in the morning, so, it ended up being a roughly one hour nap rather than a night sleep. Waking up for some reason didn't feel too bad. I got to work and then happened something that never happened to me at that job. The first customers that came in brought me hot chocolate and a croissant from Starbucks next door. Later, another couple came in. After a 2-hour appointment with them the husband got very mad at our prices and said that he won't pay the invoice. It was kind of disappointing to watch him getting up from his chair to leave but then he stopped, pulled $30 out of his pocket and handed it to me saying that I deserve it for my time. You're not even supposed to leave tips in that place! I honestly didn't know what to do and refused to take the money but the guy was extremely persistent giving me compliments for my work. It was so weird to see him mad at the company I work for and yet pleased with me. What can I say? What was supposed to be a tough day ended up to be a day filled with pleasant surprises... No, I didn't deserve it. It was just grace from a loving God...

What can I say? What was supposed to be a tough day ended up to be a day filled with pleasant surprises… No, I didn’t deserve it. It was just grace from a loving God…

Around 3 weeks ago I had a really long day, and didn't get to bed till around 2:30ish am, and I had to wake up the next day at 6:30am for work. I read the bible a little bit, then sincerely prayed for God to help me wake up the next day because I had been warned about my "energy levels" already. I set my alarm clock to 6:30am and go to bed... "By coincidence" I wake up the next morning at exactly 6:20am, eyes wide open as if I just downed a liter of coffee. Is that the grace of God or what?
