I love coming back and hanging out in Bradenton. I have formed so many great relationships here over the years. One of my favorite places in Bradenton is the Starbucks on SR70. The reason why is because they a barista their named Cindy. Have you ever met one of those people that is always excited to see you and greats you with the biggest hello with a smile. That is Cindy to a tee. She is one of the most life-giving people I have ever met. I just want to go buy a starbucks so I can get to see her.
All of this got me thinking this morning, the way we act towards others has a profound effect on them. I will gladly go pay $5.00 for some coffee if I get this amazing experience. What kind of experience are others having when they come into contact with us? Is it such a powerful encounter that they would be willing to pay for it or such a negative experience that they pay for it.
Let’s be a people who give such unbelievable value to others through our presence that they see God’s presence in us.
They love you there!
