Have you ever read the book "Silver Boxes"?
I read part of it a number of years ago. I remember it talking about how we should give out compliments instead of just "thinking" them. Which I am very prone to do, just thinking that is.
However, yesterday I had a Silver Box given to me if you will. I was teaching a SAP class at work and one of the students came up to me before the class began and asked me if I used to work for SWA. I said yes, and she said you probably don't remember me but I used to wait on you at Black Eye Pea. She said you were always so nice I loved to see you come in. And I loved your pastor as well. Wanted to know how he was doing and that she heard he had been to the Philippines and I agreed with her he is a very fine man and was back in the states.
She is going to start riding my van which I am excited about, as she has a very sweet spirit. She was wearing her cross necklace and said grace before eating. I hope to get her to come to my Friday night service.
Then this morning I received another silver box. A very good friend of mine that is also a licensed minister and author of a very good selling book called me to tell me what a blessing my book on the SEALS was to her. She said she picked it up with her bible to go downstairs to her office to read and ended up reading some in my book. She said it was so full of scriptures and said things she knew but needed to be reminded of.
I was very thrilled it was a blessing to her because that is my heartbeat of my books. It is not about making money, although I have no desire to be in debt over them either.
Anyway, I wanted to share these comments with my friends and to remind each of us to give silver boxes to others.
I would like to give a Silver Box, if you will, to Renda. She is a dedicated Owner/Admin that works many hours on this forum. She is a single Mom planning a wedding for her only daughter and working full time.
She has a great sense of humor and a lot of wisdom as well.
I hope there is someone here you would like to give a silver box to also.
