i AM BLESSED!
In dealing with day to day problems, it is easy to think about the problems-how to solve them—and just generally obsess about them. I am often reminded that no matter what I face, my BLESSINGS far outweigh my problems.
Today I had to find a new doctor’s office a little distance away so we went early to be sure we were not late. Thank goodness our i-pad directed us there 1 hour early and we had time for lunch. As we drove down a little access road from the doctor’s office to a couple of restaurants, we saw a lady sitting alone on a curb as we drove by. Coming back from the restaurant, we saw she had a sign
I dropped my husband off at the doctor’s office—then realized I did not have my wallet—so headed back to the restaurant. Just as I got back to Applebee’s, I realized my wallet was in another bag I had with me. I was relieved—but more than that, I realized I had come back by that lady for a reason. I found some money in my wallet and headed back to her. My heart was so touched when I looked into her eyes and saw the hopelessness. I still tear up thinking about it. As I handed her the money, I was impressed to hug her and talk to her a little. In that hug I felt in her hopelessness, despair, pain, defeat and gratitude.
I am so blessed. I have never experienced not having a safe place to sleep—not having food and plenty of it. This experience reminded me that so many in our world have NOTHING! But for the grace of God, I could be in that position too!
