Yesterday we had an oasis kind of day with the weather here. It only got up to 80f.26c. When I stepped outside to go to the coffee shop, it was a very welcome unexpected blessing after some very hot days.
Unexpected blessings are what I call blessings that seem to come out of nowhere. Ones that there is no way to anticipate them. Like a seeming chance encounter with someone we have not seen in a long time that happens just when we need it.
Sunday morning a friend at church I had not interacted with for a while stopped by the room I teach in and said hi. That was nice but what happened about an hour later was something I did not see coming. He came up to me before worship service and handed me a check because with the way the economy is going, he wanted to make sure I would be okay. It was a huge blessing for me because as per usual for me, I hit the deductible on my insurance in March which means I have already paid a few thousand in healthcare costs.
Last week a niece I have not heard from in a long time messaged me on Facebook. We have started connecting again. I did not see that one coming either.
Last week a friend I had not heard from for a few years messaged me and wanted to meet for dinner. We had dinner and a chance to catch up. I found out that she, in her words, is really a Christian again. She also shared with me that she remembered some things I shared with her while she was in Brazil during the pandemic.
What’s behind all three? God at work. The blessings were expected by God because he was at work in all three. What is unexpected by us is planned on by God. They are ones that God gets our attention and we can stop and thank him for what he has done and appreciate that Abba Father has once again shown us He is with us.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

I am doing good. I have an appointment with a specialist on June 27th. I see my PCP on June 21st and my usual bloodwork on June 21st. Having an auto-immune issue is interesting in itself.
Father God is my keeper. My trust is in Him.
I understand autoimmune little sister. Pra yes for you
Thank you for yourprayers.. Fibermyalgia is considered an autoimmune illness. It is chronic pain in your joints and organs.
