This evening I was responsible for a portion of the cleaning of my church building. I had been coming down with a cough all week long and brought some cough drops with me in my pocket. There was an activity going on that I was supposed to attend and then I had planned to clean after but during the activity I felt that others didn't want my germs anyway so I probably should just go ahead and get my cleaning done so I could go home and rest. I followed that feeling and went ahead to finish up the last of the bathroom cleaning. While I was in there I heard another sister in our church come into the bathroom and begin to cough. She recently was diagnosed with the specific condition that causes her to have coughing fits quite often. She continued to cough. I was in one of the Stalls cleaning the bathroom. Repeatedly the thought came to me you should go and offer her one of the cough drops in your pocket. I tried to talk myself out of it saying then I'll have to wash my gloves and she probably won't want to have my germs anyway. But then I realized what I was doing and went to check on her. As it turned out cough drops do not help her at all so she did not accept my offer. But as her coughing slowed she gave me one of the best compliments I've received on my daughter's talk from Sunday. Last Sunday was my daughter's first talk in church and that was a big deal for her. She told me that my daughter's talk was very good. She said she was one of the best youth speakers that she had heard in quite a while. She said she was really touched by it and remarked how the two speakers after her kept referring back to my daughter's talk. I was able to come home and give my daughter that compliment and boost her confidence. So once again following a saygobedo led to blessings for me.
