Hello, all,
“Firecracker Blessings” . . . . A term I use to refer to the different blessings God may pop our way in a day or even a short span of time. Exciting blessings from God.
I am so grateful to have received several particularly wonderful firecracker blessings in the past couple of weeks. A co-worker brought me coffee on a day in which I truly appreciated the comfort. I received a beautiful surprise gift from very special and wonderful friends and family in Christ. Friends invited me into their home for homemade soup and a relaxing evening -- ah. A dear family bought me a rotisserie chicken, knowing how much I love chicken! (OK, you’re probably thinking I’m low maintenance, but I’m so grateful and appreciative of every warm thought for me that I do get excited!) I received two particularly kind and thoughtful emails -- for no reason at all. In the mail at work, I was blessed with Christian CDs from another friend and sister who knows I love listening to Christian music. I have had the opportunity this past week to see many long time friends and co-workers and to meet new ones. And hugs! I love hugs and have been rewarded an extra supply this week!
And on time. God’s timing is always on time. Just when I needed a little extra TLC.
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!
God is always there. I cannot physically see Him. But I do see the existence of His grandness every day. What a beloved Heavenly Father!
Do you ever watch God’s artwork in a sunrise or sunset? What blessings and precious gifts from Him! A full moon or smile or laughter or a hug -- more valued blessings. Most firecracker blessings are small -- someone in the grocery store allowing you to go first in the checkout line or someone holding a door open for you. But these blessings are there -- seek them out.
God knows life isn’t easy on earth for believers. I also am aware He never told us life would be easy. In fact, He told us the opposite; that we would have troubles. As I read last week in Sarah Young’s “Jesus Calling” devotions, “Give up the illusion that you deserve a problem-free life.” But God and His mercy and grace and goodness and love are ALWAYS there. Open your eyes and see Him work! To God be the glory; GREAT things He has done and will continue to do!
Jeremiah 17:7 “Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
Prayerfully, your sister in Him,
Robin
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 "May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, Who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word."
