Those who work with me know that my favorite position in the restaurant is the drive-thru window. Why? It’s simple. Drive-thru business is the majority of our business, and the window gives me the privilege of seeing the most amount of people possible!

I love people. People aren’t a number to me, but rather living, breathing souls who need encouragement on a daily basis. If I can’t encourage, why am I here?

Then there are moments in life that surprise you.

About a month ago, I was working the window when I saw a black vehicle come around the corner with a yellow New Jersey plate on the front bumper. The occupants inside the vehicle were incredibly friendly, letting me know they had just moved to Charlotte. I ended up recruiting their daughter to work with us!

Over the past few weeks, these New Jersey transplants have become dear friends… and even beyond that, they have become family to me.

I didn’t even realize I needed encouragement, but God always knows exactly what you need, when you need it.

Dan Cathy always asks, “Do you know how you can tell someone needs encouragement? They are breathing!”

Has someone been an encouragement to you recently? Feel free to share your story!
