In the mega store employees are required to greet me.
They ask if they can help. I say, “No, but thank you for
asking.” One particularly persistent young woman asks how I am doing and if my
day is good and if I have some time to talk about switching to satellite television. I tell her thank you for asking but we are
happy with what we have. That was it. Nothing particularly gracious.
And you know what she said? “Thank you for not running away.”
Can you believe it?
This young woman made in the image of God had to thank me
for treating her as such. Yikes. Shouldn’t it be the default response?
So today I want to celebrate our ‘image of God’ ness and
share a few of my thousand favorite photos of folks made in the image of God.

Beautiful words and photos.
A wonderful reminder not to be in too much of a hurry to be gracious, from one of the most gracious ladies I ever met!
Oh Susan. Thank you. Not to be redundant, but I would say the same thing about you :)
Good gracious I almost missed this one and good gracious it is good to be gracious!
