Thankful Thursday (#TGIR)
A Generous Surprise
Having a four-day work week definitely has its advantages. My weekly commute time is shorter and my gas cost is significantly less. I get a three-day weekend every week. Except this weekend, of course (three cheers for four-day weekends!). Sitting in front of a computer for ten hours a day, however, is not exactly anyone’s idea of fun – even when you’re getting paid to be on the World Wide Interwebs. Sometimes you have to take a break and get away for a few minutes.
That happened to me today. I had to get out. A colleague of mine joined me on my little drive and we wound up at Chick-fil-a, which isn’t too far from the office (yet another reason my place of employment is pretty amazing. I mean…you already know my love for Chick-fil-a). As we walked in, my colleague turned to me and said “I’m buying.”
An unexpected free lunch coupled with some good conversation about work, life, and matters of faith turned was a great change of pace and a very generous surprise. It’s definitely something to be thankful for.
What about you? What are you thankful for this Thankful Thursday?

I am thankful for my family. And the little things in life, like a free lunch.
It’s so easy to overlook the little things, isn’t it?
Yes, it is.
Have a good one.
