A New Day

A new day.....a new beginning.....a chance to be a blessing to others.....a chance to recognize and receive blessings!!

Sometimes blessings are huge, life changers such as the birth of a child.  Sometimes blessings are small acts of kindness from a stranger.

We need to try to be aware of the people we encounter daily.  What may seem insignificant to us, something that requires very little effort on our part can actually give someone a glimmer of hope or a bit of encouragement.  There are days (and we all have them) when nothing seems to be going right.  You're late for work, you get every red light, the gas light comes on in the car and you're looking for a hole to crawl into!
Out of the blue someone holds a door open for you and smiles and suddenly you feel a little better.....or did you notice that little blessing?

You're standing in line at the store with the milk you need for the kids and the lady in front of you with the full cart turns to you and says "You can go ahead of me", suddenly you feel a little better......or did you notice that little blessing?

Think of how much more pleasant our lives would be if everyone made a conscious effort to be a blessing to someone each day.

In my hurry to get to work this morning I forgot my lunch.  My son just called and said "I'll bring you lunch".....There's my blessing
