Orange Colored Sky

I was walking along... minding my business..
When out of an orange colored sky... Flash! Bam! Ala-kazam!
Wonder-full you came by...

Last week I was walking along, and yes, I was in fact minding my business. It was after a normal day at work, followed by doing something for a friend. Feeling a little - not low but not buoyant... quiet maybe - I got off the subway at an inconvenient stop. Just a little bit longer to walk home, it was cold, but I knew doing something for my friend was important that night. So I pulled my scarf up a bit, and began hurrying home. When I saw it! The WAFFLE Truck!
A month prior Nic & Vin had been raving about the Belgian Waffle truck that has the best Belgian waffles and was in a new location every day. Read: waffles, Yum! location, inconvenient. But this was Right There! Literally in my path. Of course I stopped. And it was delicious! A little blessing from God, a fun orange-colored (or yellow-colored) truck with lovely delicious Belgian waffles!
But that's not all....
I had been looking for the movie Love Actually, and it was difficult to find, actually. So as I'm munching on my lovely Belgian waffle, served hot on a chilly January night, what should I see but Flash! Bam! a dvd store closing! With tremendous discounts on... that's right. Love Actually.
God gave me little flashes of an Orange Colored Sky that night ~ as I was minding my business doing my best to do the right thing. Here's to a gracious God who delights in the little things.
