Last week I shared about a hassle of my asthma inhaler not working for the last doses causing me to go to the pharmacy. Because of that I was able to see a young woman from Vietnam, whom I had helped, working as a registered pharmacist. That was A Hassle That Led to a Blessing.
That same trip led to another hassle that turned into a blessing. I left my insurance card there. On Sunday I called and they told me they had my card. Before I went to pick it up, I stopped at a store across the street. I head a voice say-“Is that teacher Matt.”
I looked and saw a young woman from Guatemala who was my student for a few years. She met with me at my church along with another woman from Colombia. I helped both of them prepare for college.
It was a blessing to see her again and to catch up on things with her. She is back in college after having had a baby boy.
It is too easy to get bogged down in the difficulties of now and forget how God has worked through us. I am thankful that God gives us reminders of him working through us.
It is too easy to focus on only negatives in our past and doing so leads to feeling worthless, depressed, and other negative thoughts and emotions.
It is important to remember how God has worked through us and to express gratitude to God for that. If we do so, it can help lift us up.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
We all need a little encouragement from time to time. They are sweet to experience and good for the soul.
Amen 🙂
So much truth here! I love the way God reminds of all the good around us even in the midst of the hassles. I’m glad you received an encouragement when you needed it. Blessings to you! ☺
Thank you little sister. Blessings 🙂
Sometimes inconvenience can lead to a blessing. It reminds me of the verse that states that all things (including the disappointments) work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). Thank you for sharing these great testimonies.
I love the verse 🙂
It is easy to forget and become discouraged. I’m thankful for the reminders He gives us. ❤️
Me too little sister. How is the new job?
I don’t start until Feb 3rd.
Congratulations on the new job 🙂
Thanks big brother! 🤗
amen. You are so very right; It’s too easy to see only the negative and and forget the good that can come from ‘bad’ incidents 🙂
God causes all things to work together for those who love God and are called according to his purposes 🙂
🙏🏽
Ooooh that’s neat!
I read this and thought, “All things work together for good to those who love the Lord.”
Amen 🙂
True, it is sweet to see how God makes efforts to remind us of the things He did through us in the past. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading 🤗
Yes! God continually calls me to slow down and put the people and relationships right in front of me first. I love how He encourages you and blesses you by putting special people that you have impacted into your daily comings and goings around town.
Thank you little sister. God has been surprising me with running into people a lot lately.
