Blessings
Blessings come in many forms. God uses His vast array of resources to send us blessings. The blessings may be little, bitty things, or they may be so large that our socks get knocked off. A blessing is a blessing whether it is tiny or magnificent. And truly some of the "tiny" blessings have the most impact when they arrive at just the "right" moment.
In March, my husband and I were heading out of town on a Wednesday to spend two nights away together in honor of our upcoming anniversary. We were getting hungry so we got in the drive through line at a fast food restaurant. When we arrived at the window to pay for our food, we were told that our food was payed for and God bless. I couldn't help it...I began to cry. We hadn't ordered much, but the impact of that "small" act was a sweet balm to my soul. With a job hunt in the works, since my husband had lost his job earlier in the year, money was tight. Little do some people know of the impact their act of kindness, their stepping out, their open-handed approach to giving to others can create in the recipient's life. True blessings don't just bless the recipient, but they also bless the giver. God is good! He has shown up in my life with the "perfect" blessing for me at just the right moment. Those blessings are part of His care for us. He does know our heart and what would speak the most to us at just the right moment. He hasn't forgotten us and sometimes He is kind enough to give us that very reminder at just the right time for our heart to get just the boost it needs to keep going.
He loves us so much! He created us! He gave us our tastes, preferences, etc. He is the great designer. Why does it surprise us then when He sends the most amazing, unique blessing our way at just the right pick-me-up-needed moment? He is all-knowing. He is so good! Count your blessings, friend! Focus on them for a few minutes each day. Remember all the good, great, amazing, just-right things God has done in your life. Each little blessing, each faith-building miracle is a stepping stone to take you past your fear to the place He has for you to walk next. Trust Him! Lean on Him! He has a plan...a good plan!
