This morning I needed to go to the laundry mat to wash some blankets. When my husband and I got there we met a woman that was having trouble with the change machine. Usually, I have a lot of trouble myself with those kind of machines. But before I helped her I said a prayer and called upon the angels to help me. The money slipped right in and the change came out for the woman. She was very thankful and I continued to help my husband load the washer.
A little while later the woman asked me again for assistance. I once again said a little prayer and called upon the angels to help me. The money slipped right in and the woman's change came out. The woman wanted to buy me some coffee. It has been freezing out around here and I said it was no trouble to assist her but I did not want her to go out in the freezing cold. I then went over to load the dryer with my blankets.
The woman told me she would be back and left the laundry mat. I patiently, waited for my blankets to dry. Within a few minutes the lady returned with a fresh box of warm molasses donuts from the bakery. She handed them to me and again thanked me. I felt bad but I felt God tell me to graciously accept the donuts. I graciously accepted the donuts and asked God to bless her one thousand fold. When my blankets were dry and folded I said thank you once again to the woman and wished her a day full of blessings and a Happy Thanksgiving. My husband and I left the laundry mat and drove home.
At home I made a fresh pot of hot coffee to serve my husband and me. Together we ate the warm molasses donuts and sipped hot coffee. I thought about how blessed I was to have met the woman and asked God to keep blessing her with abundant blessings.
Blessings come in many forms and sizes. The greatest blessings come with sincerity and love.
May we always be willing to give to others. It is in giving that blessings will overflow our days.
Nothing in this life is a coincidence. If we keep our hearts open and keep the dust from our eyes, we will see the beauty of God's perfect plan of perfect love.
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Thoughts and Blessings,
God bless you,
