First, a quick note about work: today, we found out that when the weather starts cooling down, we are going to be moved back into the warehouse. It gets pretty hot in the warehouse, such that I have never seen the temperature dip below 70 degrees at the coldest of days. I'm going to be sweating a lot. Not good.
Okay, that's enough about work. Let's talk about someone else.
…
Today is my friend Eneida's birthday. When I asked her what she and her husband Rudy were doing to celebrate, she told me they were planning to go to dinner, and she invited me to come. I had to decline, as I had to be at work. You can probably guess where I wouldve preferred to be.
Eneida is the first woman with whom I built a friendship after I got saved. She is friendly, approachable, kind, and she loves The Lord. Eneida is a little on the shy side, which I can understand as I've always been a little uncomfortable around people I don't know. She's a good compliment to Rudy's gregariousness.
If I can be honest, I don't really know what Eneida likes about me. Then again, I don't really know what anyone likes about me. I just don't think of myself as a terribly likable person. I've just tried to be kind and open, something I've been motivated to be since The Lord saved me. God has blessed me with the people He's brought into my life and has allowed to be a blessing to others. The Lord has chosen to glorify Himself in enabling us to love Him and one another as we ought. As the Scriptures say, God is love. He has enabled me to love other people in a way I could never have imagined, and Eneida is one of this people.
Happy birthday, Eneida, and God bless you.
