"As I go about today, there's just one thing I want to do.
Lord, I want to be a blessing to someone today. Perhaps just a smile will do to help them on their way. Maybe lend a helping hand or a kind word to say. Lord, I want to be a blessing to someone today."
I was touched during Wednesday night's prayer meeting as one of our sweet church members shared her story of stopping to help a man who was having car trouble. Admitting she knew nothing about cars but she wanted to help this individual. What a sweet, precious spirit she shared. How much better would our world be today if we all approached our days in an effort to let God's light shine through us! And yes, as she did, let's invite them to church. We will make room even though we are social distancing.
I am so thankful, this song has been a part of my life for so long. I hear it often and I woke up to it on February 21st and shared my thoughts. That day did not work out exactly as I planned. My desire was to go workout, give words of encouragement to someone there who may be struggling, but I was the one who "fell out" and found myself in the ER. I found myself on the receiving end of being blessed than the other way around.
As I have grown older, I have come to appreciate the important role we play in other's lives. I have been so very blessed. God has shown His love for me over and over and over again. I want to share that with others.
With this old virus, I may not see a lot of people as I once did. Wearing a mask, a smile just doesn't communicate as before so maybe just a nod of my head would acknowledge that I see them and recognize them. Perhaps a wave to someone as we pass in our cars. I don't know, but I believe, I come in contact with people who need someone to show that they matter and I pray today, that I can do something or say something that will be a blessing. And if I should find myself in the ER today, I pray I will be a blessing to someone there.
You bless me every day by reading my ramblings and sharing your touching thoughts with me. I don't say thank you enough. I am so thankful for all of my blessings and you are one of them.
I pray you will have a blessed Friday!
