Bliss # 39- Final Bliss...Lets share the bliss!

I began my series on "Bliss" by sharing about an unexpected final cup of coffee I got to share with Alysse when I took her to the airport after Thanksgiving break.  The ticket agent offered to give me a pass to go to the gate with her. I never knew that was an option.  I went to the airport again this past Thursday.  A  dear friend was flying in from Abu Dhabi.  She & her husband had a layover and I went to pick up some of their luggage and bring them coats while they were in the states. They got off their international flight and had to be re-ticketed to continue on to New Orleans. We have kept in regular contact through skype- but it was great to see them in person.  The same ticket agent was working.  I did NOT ask him for a pass- I had already asked another agent and was turned down.  He walked over to where we were and his first words were "Tell me your story."  As we did he quickly offered a pass.  I graciously accepted.  Then I told him he had given me a pass at Thanksgiving and that I was blogging about bliss.  I explained how I had  blogged about him! How his generosity allowed me a final cup of coffee with my daughter.  He said it's the little things, like that extra time that makes a difference in our days. It turns average days into good days!   He was so happy to hear how he had made that difference for me- and now he was doing it again.  I was able to enjoy a nice 2 hour lunch with my friends.  They will be back in a week- but still it was an unexpected moment of bliss.  However, this ticket agent  challenged my spirit.  There is a wonderful scripture that says something to the effect that when it is in our power to do kindness to someone- we should do it.  I want to be a person this year that provides opportunities of bliss to others.  When it is in my power to do so, I don't want to let the moment pass or by being so busy or self indulged that I don't recognize the opportunity.   It is a good challenge for me for 09 and I challenge you to do the same.  Let's spread moments of bliss to as many as possible.
