my cup overflows

30Jun09

So after hanging out with Rachel (totally stoked that she’s now a Duke), I decided to stop by Petco to get some grub for my lesbian leopard geckos, Ren and Stimpy. I paid for 15 large crickets, which came out to $1.78 with tax.

While I was waiting, I was watching this hamster sleep. His balls were the size of its head. Brilliant!

Anyways, so out comes this lady in her 50s, covered in tattoos, and she hands me a plastic bag of crickets. When she handed it to me, I was surprised at how heavy it was.

I looked down at the bag, and I saw that she HOOKED ME UP. There has to be at least 30 crickets in there.

With sheer excitement, I said out loud “Holy…” and walked out with a huge smile on my face.

Oh man, how this illustrates the grace of God. We ask for so little, expect so little, and for no real reason other than the fact that He loves us, He makes our cups overflow.
