I put it in as 3:06 and got Bible verse John 3:06 That which is born of the flesh is flesh [the physical is merely physical], and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Manager: “And on your first day on the floor! That’s amazing. You can look forward to tomorrow, then.”
Me: “Tomorrow?”
Manager: “You’ll see.”
Tomorrow comes, and the little boy and his mom are back. He rushes up to me and hands me an envelope. Inside are two pencil drawings of me! At first, I think one is just a scanned copy of the original, but then I realize that they’re BOTH original drawings.
Me: “Oh, wow! These are amazing!”
Boy: “Thank you. Have a nice day!”
And with that, off they went like it was the most normal interaction in the world! I showed my manager, who explained that I was free to do with them as I pleased, but most staff took one home and pinned the other to the board in the break room.
My picture has been gracing that wall now for the last two years, and the collection continues to grow… as does the boy’s talent.
Rats!
