The Small World of Minnesota
I am writing this on my new laptop which I picked up from a UPS Customer Center. I mention it only because of the strange, albeit cool encounter I had with the staff.
I walk in wearing my Twins shirt that Rob had given me a few months ago. Now I get more people connecting as Twins fans than I ever thought I would. I don't watch many games, but I follow them in the newspaper pretty close.
So this UPS driver says "Hey, a fellow Twins fan!" and comes up and shakes my hand. We talk a little baseball and I find out he was born and raised in MN. When he asked where I was visiting last weekend I said Shoreview.
"That's where I grew up!" he said.
Well it turns out that I ended up talking to him and the woman behind the counter for about 10 minutes. I told them about Rob's situation and many of the events around it. The guy and the woman were seriously distraught and compassionate about the story. He said it sounded like I had a really cool, close family.(See yesterday's post) He was exactly on point and it was good to hear someone remind me that it's not just my understanding. People recognize it for what it is.
After feeling like I had just talked to my neighbors for 10 minutes I took my package and walked away.
I think God puts people like this in our path during times like this to remind us of how blessed we truly are.
