The Pepperoncino

Last night my boyfriend and I were having dinner at a local Italian restaurant.  We both ordered the house salad.  When our salads arrived they appeared to be identical, the typical house salad with vinaigrette dressing topped with a Pepperoncino.

As I was adding pepper to my salad, gazing at the Pepperoncino, and thinking I would eat it last, I was prompted to give my Pepperoncino to my boyfriend.

I pick up the Pepperoncino and pass it across the table to my boyfriend.  His eyes got great big and his face lit up as he asked, ‘that was in your salad?’  I answered yes and that he should have one also.  He asked if I liked Pepperoncinos, I answered yes, I love them. 

 He began digging through his salad looking for his Pepperoncino.  When he finally found it, the Pepperoncino in his salad was super tiny, not even a bite, basically a stem. He was disappointed that he didn’t have a full Pepperoncino in his salad.

You see, my boyfriend loves Pepperoncinos as much as I do.  I didn’t know he got gypped on a Pepperoncino but my Heavenly Father did and the Holy Spirit prompted me to give up mine to him.

My boyfriend was blessed by the Pepperoncino … Sometimes it’s the little things that make the 

biggest impact.  

Pay attention to that “Still Small Voice”, Be obedient, and Be blessed.
