You never know how God will use you

The morning hasn't ended, and I've had the opportunity to be a blessing to someone today. At least I hope so. A young man from the church came into the office, and mentioned he needed help with a cover letter. I asked, "Why?" He said he was just laid off. Rats, I said.

Since I have lived through two layoffs myself, which connotes to several hundred letters over the years, I said I could help. So we massaged his cover letter: tweaked the basic structure, fleshed it out. Offered some layout suggestions for the resume. And gave him some stationery stock I have left over from the last layoff go-round. (It's a nice mute gray marbled paper. Looks nice.)

It's just neat that I got to help him.
