Day 22: Chemistry 101


I have to laugh,

because of an interesting

experience

my husband and I

just had at a restaurant.

The

chemistry

with the waiter

did not exist.

It isn't that you need to have

chemistry

with a waiter,

but when the waiter has a

chemistry

with you,

he waits on you.

It happened as soon as we sat down at the table,

as he accessed us

as he looked at the 4 top

with only the 2 of us sitting there,

which meant

lower check & lower tip~

which meant

that we didn't have

chemistry~

but the table next to us

had

chemistry

with him~

as soon as they filled the 4 top

and ordered 1000 appetizers.

It was so obvious, that it was comical.

After we were finished eating,

we got his attention,

by accident,

and then he wanted

chemistry~

"Are you celebrating a birthday"

"Is it a special day"

"Do you want dessert"~

came rolling off his lips~

as we answered with no thank you,

even though I wanted to say it was our 50th wedding anniversary

(to throw him for a loop)

and thanks for asking!

He asked again...

Oh we had his attention,

before he would close out our check

Well we waited and waited

for our check,

as he was loving on the 4 top next to us,

and then he remembered we were there

and then we got the check

he got his tip

and we left

and I laughed

all the way home

To be so obvious

to be treated

as insignificant,

but just because

we were treated as

insignificant

did not make us insignificant.

Just because we didn't have a

chemistry

with the waiter

didn't make us

less than

or more than

him.

It was just what it was~

but oh the power

of being treated as one less than,

can have in our hearts

if we forget

Whose we are.

If you disappoint someone~

it doesn't make you a disappointment

If you make a mistake~

it doesn't make you a mistake

If you

don't have

chemistry

with someone,

you just don't have

chemistry

with someone

Having Chemistry~

a connection with someone

a loving cherished feeling

and being treated as such

with

no words needed to be said

because

you just know

because you have

chemistry~

The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17

Having Chemistry~

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Having Chemistry~

He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me. Psalm 144:2

Having Chemistry~

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Psalm 66:20

Having Chemistry~

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,

who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20

Having Chemistry~

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them,

human beings that you care for them? Psalm 8:3-4


And the best part of

Having Chemistry~

with your

Creator is that

you can sit at a table for 10,

just you,

and not order anything

and

you will be waited on

like royalty

because

you have

Chemistry

with the

One

Who says

you matter

always.

From Rags to Riches~
