Sometimes people amaze me.

I really like when I go to the mall, and random people talk to me.

Actually I do. And I have a cool story.

So today, I went to the mall, and I was feeling all "My life sucks. The world sucks."
so I got Panda Express. I was all pissy because Panda didn't have any orange chicken left, and I didn't want to wait, so I got something else (Which was lame) so I carry my food ALL THE WAY over to the other end of the food court, when I discover that I have no fork. Nope. No fork at all. So, I get up, haul my big booty all the way back to Panda to get a fork, leaving my plate of food on the table, get a fork, and come back to find that someone had gotten me a fork in my absence.

Although this gesture was kind of pointless, I was totally and completely humbled. First of all, someone had been selfless enough in the first place to notice that I had noticed I didn't have a fork, secondly, some completely random person who didn't know me, and didn't know what kind of a day I'd had (Bad, for the record) happened to get up, and get me a fork.

Sometimes, I lose all faith in humanity. Sometimes, I truly believe that the whole world is full of hate filled people who are incapable of selfless acts of love. It's on days like today that I'm totally blown away by how God uses us, even in our sinfulness. That one person got me a fork, not for the thanks (as it was done out of anonymity), but simply because I needed one.

So, whoever you are - thank you for getting me an eating utensil in my time of need. I needed it in many more ways than one. I hope you know that you've just completely turned around my entire week, all by getting up and grabbing me a fork.
