I ran across a "new-to-me" Word for the Day! I don't believe I have ever heard or used this word. So today I am going to use it whenever I get the chance! The word is "Lagniappe" which means "A Little Something Extra" . Not a bad word, huh? We could all use a little lagniappe sometimes, couldn't we? Just "a little" - Just "something" - Just "extra" - Just "a little something extra"!!
What are some little something extras that you could do for someone you know? Maybe for a family member, a co-worker, a neighbor, someone sick or in the hospital, a friend, the cashier at the store, your pastor (it is pastor's appreciation month!), that person in the car next to you at the stop light? . . . That extra smile, phone call, email, card, or letter, a wave, a wink, or a kind word could be just the encouragement somebody around you may need today! Behind that face you meet, there may be a hurting, angry, frustrated, broken heart - a soul in need of "a little something extra". Just a simple lagniappe! Be there for them, ok?
Enjoy your day and take time to share a few lagniappes with those people that come to your mind and those that cross your path! Awweee . . . "A Little Something Extra"!
