Yesterday I came home to a little rectangular box on my kitchen table with a big silver bow on its top. Ty had called me earlier to inform me there was a present for me when I got home...and guess what it was???
Oh baby it was these bad girls! AH! TOM's Silver Glitters!
The dear family that is renting us their apartment decided that because they looked like Christmas, they needed to get them for me. How amazing is that family?? I was way too excited and I even cried a little, not just because of the shoes, but because this family, amidst their own trials they're walking through right now, still makes it a point to bless others.
{It melts me. Dear Family, you inspire me.}
We found out later that it was a couple from our church who we didn't know but met that night :) The guy said something that stuck with me. He said, we just saw a quick opportunity to bless someone.
A quick opportunity. I love that.
Since then I have been looking for quick and random opportunities to bless people. It can be anything from baking a batch of cookies to paying for someone's Starbucks drink in line. Paying for a stranger's dinner to writing a "thinking about you note". Anything. The world is your blessing field.
Is there a time when you've been randomly blessed by someone? Or when you've been the surprise blesser? ;)
Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
Happy Wednesday!
Love,
