Every Sunday night I roll the garbage can to the curb for pick up. Every Monday afternoon I roll the garbage can back up to the garage. It's a mundane task most folks do on a weekly basis. But, in my life, even the most mundane tasks can become opportunities for unusual interactions!
Recently I was pushing the garbage can up my driveway when a car driving by slowed down and the older couple in the car rolled down their window and asked if I needed help. I politely declined and the woman looked at me and said "Well, God bless you, my dear." Then they rolled up their window and drove away.
This all took place in a matter of seconds and it left me laughing and shaking my head. I'm not sure exactly what I did to prompt this blessing; was it my valiant struggle to push the garbage can or perhaps my brave attempt to suffer through this chore on my own? Maybe she thought it was going to take a miracle for me to get the garbage can up my driveway so she figured I needed divine help?
Whatever it was, I'm guessing you've never had someone bless your efforts to take out the trash!
