You are a Blessing to me!



Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.  

Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.  Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.   One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.  As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.  

Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.  I like this and I would love to have one of these.

Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted.

We gave her, her gifts today.  I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “Thank You God”.

God blesses each one of us with what we have and it is natural to want to keep everything to ourselves but something I learned today was the gratefulness of someone.  They weren’t expecting anything and were happy before they received what they got.

Accepting what you have and being thankful is important, we never realize what it means to have nothing,  loaf of bread, a little of milk, some peanut butter or jam.

The challenge is can you bless someone?  If so, why haven’t you?  Are you so busy that it slipped your mind?  Concisions are like; little wheels, it reminds you constantly, it turns in your head.  Going away but returning to you later.
Lord God, humbly I pray for the ability to be a blessing in the lives of people I can help.  Bless me today and help me become the blessing You wanted me to be.  In the name of Jesus Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
