1) I was talking with someone in the office about hoping to connect with someone who might walk with me. Just as I said this, I saw someone I was praying about running into recently. And I quickly approached her at the row of mailboxes. And we exchanged numbers and are looking for good, plain conversation to take place over morning walks.
2) I had not received any tips at work until I started humming "Count your blessings, name them one by one."
As I did this, I immediately found change on the table I went to clean. It was very little, but it meant so very much.
Well, from this experience I then met others who also tipped larger amounts.
In fact, one family made eye contact and I was bubbly and quick to help, when they quietly offered their thanks.
My boss had just told me to leave and before I could clock out, they blessed me. This was helpful, because this past week used more income than I normally budget.
3) I finally reconnected with an old friend, someone who is older and wiser, but is just as scatter-brained as me.
She needed to pickup some boxes and I was glad to tag along.
4) I received mercy. God knows the details. But it stuns me. And I just praise God for such willingness.
5) I praise Him anyway.
Prayer:
Lord, I thank you for the little blessings.
And I do need to count them more, and to your credit.
But I am also like Joseph in that I lose track of your immeasurable grace in my life.
Regardless, thank you for blessings shared, not shared, and those yet-to-be.
Thank you for You. And thanks that I have this chance to praise your name.
Get the Glory, in Jesus' name, amen.
