God Hugs

It's hard to describe, but I felt like I got a "God hug" today. In my Weight Room world, I supervise trainers and help manage the Club. There was an incidence this week that could have caused a lot of problems/dissension, but logic/reason prevailed and things went well. One of my trainers thanked me for my support and help with the situation. In yet another situation, someone was upset with the way a program was run and took it out on me. The next day, this person apologized and thanked me for what I had done to make the situation better. Today, a fellow co-worker was feeling overwhelmed and was uncharacteristically abrupt and short with me. Within 10 minutes, she called back and apologized. In all of these situations, God enabled the spirit of kindness to come through in my response and actions. As a result, a very positive outcome occurred. These little events have been happening all week, but after the phone call from my co-worker, I felt as though God had given me a big hug. His presence was very real. As I thought of my Wonderful Heavenly Father, I smiled in admiration and appreciation for His ability to "cause all things to work together for good, to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (Rom 8:28)
