HOW DO YOU SMELL?


In opique event center where WWP holds, there's a shop where food and drinks are sold, beside it there's a boli (roast plantain) and fish stand and the smoke that comes from the grill isn't a small matter. I used to run from that area till after fellowship because if you stay there for up to a minute, your hair and clothes will stink of the fish being grilled and everyone will know where you've been. Dat tin na set up true! 

Last week I walked into glo office to do a sim swap and the lady who attended to me was so unaffected by what she was doing or who she was talking to, I asked when the sim would work and she said 24hrs, I wasnt sure she said 24 hrs but fear no gree me ask o, because the look on her face read 24 days. I wanted to get defensive and play the 'customer is always right' or 'be friendly because you are customer service rep' card but then I realised that she was probably unhappy about something and didn't think she needed to offer more of herself for anything or anyone. 

So i tried normal conversation, she finally looked at my face for the 1st time in 10 mins, then she gave me a form to sign on, I told her God bless her, she said Amen. Then she told me there was a free SIM card for me, and I said God honour you, then she finally smiled. After a few seconds, she typed a few things on her keyboard then said, your SIM card has been activated and will work as soon as you put it in a device. AHA!!! So she could do that? 
Na the problem wey dey worry her make her wan gimme 24 hrs b4?  I smiled back, and told her God will prosper her for helping me. And men will help her before she asks for help. She smiled so broadly and said a loud AMEN.  

Now the Holy Spirit then said, never to leave anyone the same way I meet them. She had temporarily forgotten whatever was bothering her, maybe a previous customer insulted her,
I don't ever want to meet anyone and let their lives remain the same, I want to leave a piece of myself with everyone. Even if it is a smile I sow, it will give them peace, and a form of hope that there are still sane people I'm the world. I have hung around pastor O for a few minutes, I am beginning to smell like her in some areas of my life.

Like the smoke in opique leaves a smell that I've been close to the food shop, I choose to leave a smell on anyone who comes in contact with me. May I never leave anyone with a bitter taste in their mouth from this day forth. 

Amen someborry!
