Apparently, our luggage isn\u2019t the only thing taking the scenic route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, while our suitcases continue their extended stay somewhere in London, I headed to Round Rock, TX for a doctor appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There I was delighted to see a dear friend working at the check-in desk. Her workspace — and her coworker\u2019s — quietly proclaimed their love for Jesus. Bible verses, encouraging notes, and reminders of God\u2019s goodness decorated their desks like little lighthouses.

My appointment went well, so I rewarded myself with a trip to the nearby Round Rock Premium Outlets. Haven’t been there in a long time — and besides — upcoming weddings were calling my name for some potential new outfits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tell you this — it can only be described as wholesale heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it happened. My phone disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sprinted from store to store like a contestant on an Olympic relay team. Checked my car. Retraced my steps. Searched the restroom. Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, one of the kind ladies at White House Black Market called mall security for me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hallelujah! A thoughtful stranger found my phone in the restroom and walked all the way across the outdoor mall to turn it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She could have shrugged and kept walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She could have handed it to the nearest clerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, she went the extra mile — literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I walked away with more than my phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walked away reminded that kindness still lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a world that can seem hurried and indifferent, God still plants people who care. Little acts of honesty and compassion are heaven\u2019s fingerprints on ordinary days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDo not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.\u201d \u2014 Hebrews 13:2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet us not grow weary in doing good.\u201d \u2014 Galatians 6:9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if you feel as though you\u2019ve lost something important, take heart. God\u2019s lost-and-found department is always open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sometimes His greatest treasures arrive in the form of a kind stranger who simply cares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazing how God strengthens our faith. He still uses kind strangers to remind us that honesty, compassion, and goodness are alive and well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
