Sometimes God is obvious.

Sometimes He just puts things right in front of us.

Literally.

Hi my name is Rachel, and I am a Sonic addict.

I was there today, parked on the right side, which looks out to the Crye-Leike realty office, a big billboard, and the road that goes under the railroad tracks.

As I was waiting for my drink of hallelujah-I-did-the-ACT-again-without-blowing-a-gasket, I looked up at the sign for the Crye-Leike office.

They always have cute little wordings to grab attention.

But today, oh today, there was the best one I have seen in a while.

It read:

"Two hot new listings on Turkey Lane - call Lori at 555-5555 (ha) to 'gobble' up the information!"

I laughed to myself, envisioning cute little turkey realtors showing Good Housekeeping-worthy homes.

And so, I called up Lori.

It was after 5pm, so no one answered, but I left a message telling her how cute the sign was, and that I looked forward to their creative wording and ideas, and they brighten up my day, and that I hoped they had a fabulous weekend.

I thought it might be stupid, because ... well, I couldn't really come up with an excuse.

So I called.

And guess what?

LORI CALLED ME BACK.

I was in the shower, so she left a voicemail, and she told me:

"Rachel, you made MY day. I always wonder if anyone notices my signs, and you just made me feel special! Thank you for taking the time to tell me that - I appreciate you!"

The blessings go both ways.

If we just look up and open our eyes!
