Ever notice how the Lord blesses in the little details of life?
This morning I went into work much earlier than normal because I had an all day meeting for a very important client. The meeting started at 10 AM and I had a lot of things to do before-hand, so I left home at about 6:15. When I got to the Metro, I found that my farecard had demagnetized and the Metro fare gates would not accept it. I also realized that I had left my cash at home...so I had no farecard and no cash. I would have to go back home. Which would mean not getting into work as early as I needed to, considering all the stuff I needed to do before the meeting. I was already stressed about the presentation and losing an hour to make a return trip home would have made it much worse. But something said "keep looking" and I dug in my bag and found an old farecard that was still good. There was no reason for it to be there...I've cleaned that bag out many times. It had to just be the kindess of the Lord, who saw to it that I would overlook that card time after time, just so it would be there when I needed it. I got on the train, and made it to work by 7:15. I did everything I needed to do, and the meeting went smashingly. All because the Lord left me a farecard...
So often I focus on the "big" blessings and overlook the many small kindnesses that demonstrate that the Lord is thinking of me...have you experienced any random acts of kindness from the Lord lately?
