Today was pretty hectic with the usual list of to-do’s as well as some surprises thrown in. Here's one of the funniest and most inspiring blessings I had today.
Driving home from picking up kids and getting a trunk full of groceries, I ran into one of those police road blocks; the ones where they check your driver's license, and send you on your merry way -provided of course that you do have your driver's license. As I approached the officers, I was deep in conversation with my daughter. I stopped and greeted the officer with a smile and the usual pleasantries. Then the officer examined my license. Then a frown crossed his brow as he studied it some more. He looked at me and back at the license several times, and I began to run several bad scenarios through my head as to why he seemed to be concerned. Then it hit me and the conversation went like this:
"I promise officer, that is me. I've lost about 50 pounds since I had that picture taken."
"Wow! It sure doesn't look like you. That's amazing!"
"Thank you officer, I guess I should go and get that changed."
"That would be super! Amazing! Have a nice day, and congratulations."
I don't think I've ever been next to a police officer with the blue lights flashing, and been smiling. My daughter and I laughed and talked about it all the way home. It just shows me how life's unexpected changes can bring new facets of joy into my life.
Now I go to the DMV for a new license and I'm happy about it!
