Today I ate at a sandwich shop with a friend. The woman behind the counter had an unusual tattoo across the side of her neck. I didn't want to be obvious, but when I realized it spelled a word, I stared until I was able to make it out. It said, "Karma".
I asked her, "Why do you have a tattoo that says Karma?"
She nicely replied that she believes in it. I asked her what she thought Karma was. She explained that good things would come back to her with good consequences and bad things with bad consequences.
I asked her, "What do you base that on?" (One of the 4 deadly questions!)
She answered that she just believes it. I said something about not wanting to get paid back for all the bad things I do!
A few minutes later she handed me my food on a tray and the fork caught on something and flew off onto the floor. I said, "What did you do this morning to deserve that??" We giggled at the thought.
I found a "Why Christianity" booklet in my purse and gave it to her before I left. I called her over to give it to her and told her I had something very special for her. She was beginning to read it before I even walked away. Looking up she said, "Thank you very much" with a big smile on her face. Such a simple interaction but one I pray will result in eternal life!

Awesome, Mom! What a great way to use something personal in her life (her tattoo) to get into a spiritual conversation....and all while having lunch. :) I admire you...and praise the Lord for the opportunity! :)
