How to Find Your Self Worth
This is going to sound totally cliché, but I had a real “God moment” at Chick Fil A a couple of weeks ago. While I waited for my food, I noticed an older woman sitting in a wheel chair. My heart just melted. For some reason she reminded me of my grandma, who passed away last year. The woman and I introduced ourselves and discussed flowers.
