Little Things Mean A Lot

Sometimes tiny little gifts have a way of making a greater impact.

I'm grateful today for God's goodness to me this week. He knew there was a bit of turmoil in my life, and I believe He sent a few small gifts that were just the bright spots my day needed.

Specifically...

-Arriving at this afternoon's tutoring session, I found not just one but two tutorees waiting. My student was accompanied by a classmate who wanted help preparing for tomorrow's test. I was happy to help and certainly happy to collect a few extra bucks!

-In recent weeks, I have taken a liking to the naranjas in Copan. (nah-RAHN-hahs - oranges) After receiving a few from one of my language exchange partners, I wished I knew a good place to buy my own. Would you like to guess what I stumbled across during the walk home from school today? That's right - a lady was selling really good looking oranges!

I asked her, "Tiene naranjas todos los dias?" And she let me know that I can, in fact, find her           selling oranges in that spot every day.

-A random conversation at the cafe left me with personal-life-saving information. Someone with more international experience than I have revealed the secret of the internet VPN (Virtual Private Network). Because of this, I'm now able to access sports coverage that had been blocked since I arrived in Honduras!

Another little gift from God that gives me a lift:
