surprize...gifts unseen....

"May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help…"   2 Thessalonians 2:15


this verse quoted by Ann today, and she reminded me...again....of the unnoticed gifts...every day.   I may have noticed only the folded edge of something nice when it happened today, but now, with Ann's reminding, I look back on today, and I see them. 

- laughing co-workers having fun at work.  What a concept!

- a caring soul listening and helping sort it all out.

-brothers and sisters getting along, without mom running interference

-cooking a meal they all eat up.

-a compassionate son asking, why are you stressed mom, and really caring.

- a cool, cricket filled breeze drifting in the window after dark.

- willing help.

- five women learning together, pulling for each other.

- an evening without commitments

- sweet watermelon

- two empty milk jugs (At least they all love to drink milk)

- new blue, little girl size glasses on order



All gifts felt, though maybe unrecognized fully at the moment, I can see them now.

 

" It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye." -Antione de St. Exupery, The Little Prince
