Today has been a historically slow day at work. My day was brightened at around noon when my co-worker came to my desk with a big box that had arrived for me! It was a massive box for what it held inside. I opened it up and found a cooler and icepacks. There was a chocolate and caramel covered apple inside, sent all the way from Washington!!!
It turns out it was from a lady here at work who(whom?) I had given a ride home to on Wednesday. She was so gratful for the ride that she sent me this happy pick-me-up!
Lately I have been praying for a chance to serve others because I have been feeling very selfish. I was delighted when I found this lady in need of a ride this week. Devin was able to serve someone on the job this week, too. He basically saved a guy's life yesterday when he ran for help after a window had shattered on the man's arm. The man was bleeding profusely and there weren't any cell phones around. Devin ran the length of a football field to a nearby office and phoned for help. He then ran back to the man, bringing more helpers along the way, and stayed with him until an ambulance came. What a fine man Devin is!

that looks amazing! I want one right now. good job serving! and I heard about devin's story. scary! I couldn't get that picture out of my head all day. especially when my mom told me the cut went to the bone.
i think we could make a movie about you guys. It's called saved by an angel (picture my dad saying it in an irish accent). That is very rewarding, getting a Carmel chocolate apple for giving someone a ride! Holy crap I'm going to start picking up homeless people!
Talk about being in the right place at the right time...that man probably would not have made it if Devin had not been there and run so fast! I'm glad you and Devin are finding so many opportunities to serve...keep it up! Miss you guys...come and see us some time!
YUM! I want one now. How nice of her to do that for you, and how nice of you to give her a ride. You guys are so good.
Way to go you two!!
GREAT POST!!!

Service is a blessing! So are you two!
