Blessings

People can be such a blessing.  Oh, it is also true that there are a few sent our way who make us wonder if such is true for everyone.  The other day when very little seemed to be going right and when all that had been planned seemed to be falling apart, people started showing up.  As I was speaking to the stranger behind the counter explaining why we needed to re-schedule something with her company, she said, "Don't worry, life is unpredictable."  I should have known that one.  What a blessing she was in those morning moments.    

And then, shortly, the phone rang.  A woman who works in a doctor's office we frequent called to tell us she noticed we had changed an appointment and she was going to be gone to another job by the time we returned.  She wanted to say good-bye.  What a surprise! What a blessing!  And finally before the day ended someone showed up with warm bread in their hands to place in ours.  It was a day which seemed bent on being impossible, but through three unexpected people it turned out to be a day of memorable blessings!    

God managed to work in our day in such a way as to bring such unexpected blessings.  I wonder if those who served Him as blessings knew what a blessing they were being in the life of someone in need of such care.  Blessings are surely all around us.  And, if we watch ourselves closely, we may see God putting us out there in someone's life to be a blessing for them.
