Most opportunities to change someone's day don't arrive as opportunities. They arrive as interruptions.
We often imagine meaningful moments arriving in obvious ways like a planned volunteer event, a fundraiser, a big act of generosity. But in real life, many opportunities to help someone show up as inconveniences.
A phone call when you're busy.
A friend who needs to talk when you're tired.
An elderly woman lying in a yard when you're on your way somewhere.
A grandchild wanting your attention when you're trying to get something done.
The opportunity is disguised as an interruption to your plans.
The question becomes: Do we see it as a nuisance, or do we recognize it for what it is?
