Is it even possible for a person who has never written a diary before to record what God teaches him every single day? This is a challenge and an experiment for me. I hope what God teaches me would benefit you also.

My Turkey Leg

I have moved to Tulsa for 11 years now and have never been to The Oklahoma Renaissance Festival. Today my little life group took a little trip to visit this castle (our first outing). The weather was nice and we got to do some casual browsing and watching some falcon performances. It was relaxing and fun. The most commenting are actually the people who works there, they are extraordinary nice and with professionalism that surpass many big theme parks. 

Turkey Leg
For me, I encountered a never-before seen experience. As many of you know, "turkey leg" is a very popular food item in the Renaissance Festival. Lois and I ordered one each to chow down 
as our lunch, but while I was working 1/3 of the way, I discovered the middle part of the turkey was still kind of cold so I took the turkey back to the food stand and see if I can have it heated up or a replacement. The lady took my turkey leg and gave me a beef eater sandwiches, all my money back and a new turkey leg on top of that! I totally didn't expect that. Of course, I wasn't mad to begin with but my heart was completely melted with their nice gesture.

This experience reminds me of how Jesus taught me to be nice to others. And now, I realized "nice" can have many different levels. I hope we all can do something nice to others, to encourage one and other, to love one another and perhaps to melt someone's heart once in awhile.
