James 2:8 “If you really fulfill
the royal law according the the scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbor as
yourself,’ You are doing well” (ESV)
I was blessed to be part of something
very special today. I will not go into the details, but I will say I am feeling
extremely blessed. A friend of mine, who is has a strong faith and deep caring
for others, asked me to join her in a special project this weekend. To say that
this special woman loves her neighbors is an understatement. She truly takes
care of all of us and is the glue to our neighborhood family. This is something
I have never experienced before. It is new, different, and very welcome.
The project she wanted my help with
required us to enter a new neighbors house before they move here for good
tomorrow. They bought a house when they brought their daughter to a nearby
college and just fell in love with the area. My friend and I were supposed to
do our “thing” tomorrow afternoon, but we thought it may be too late to get it
done before they arrive. (They are 2 days ahead of schedule!) So, we went this
afternoon. This was truly God’s timing. We walked into the house, opened the
freezer, and a terrible odor was wafting from it. Many people in the state had lost
power right before Christmas, and the food that they had left on their last
visit had spoiled. We were, thankfully, able to take care of the mess for them
before they get here after a long journey across the country. Again, God
orchestrated the entire thing, from my friend’s inspiration to the perfect timing.
Isn’t that just like God?
I am feeling so blessed this
evening and very joyful. When I reached out via text to thank my friend one
more time for including me her response was this, “shared experiences=shared
blessings.” So very true indeed. My prayer is that I can keep the inspiration
of this day, and the clear knowledge of God’s timing throughout the year.
Another goal…bless others as deeply and often as I can. There is nothing that
feels better or brings more joy than that.
