But don't forget to count your "Mini" blessings. They happen all the time, sometimes in response to prayers. Even "Mini" prayers.
My favorite mini prayer is this one.
Walk with me
I pray it often, and I thank God with every step as he does it.
So here are some of my personal Mini Blessings. How many can you add?
............................
Choosing Thursday to go shopping for Groceries, and watching a blizzard come in on Friday.
Finding a child who gets separated from you in a store
Having someone answer their phone when you really need them.
A child's smile
A perfect cup of coffee
Supper all cooked when you come home hungry, served with a smile
If we need extra money, we give more. It always works. In fact, it's a mini miracle. It doesn't have to be money, it can be an act of kindness, help for someone who needs it, care for a stranger.
Remember, even thieves and murderers care about their own, it's the stranger you give care to which is truly an act of Charity. Guess where that's from?? Mini blessings for both of you.
Just back from Vacation and wow, I have more Mini's!!
A driver who will let you in front of her when you are in the wrong lane. Such a blessing!
A working Garmin GPS ----An IPhone you know how to work.
"Assist" when you have a health problem and know that you can't make your plane connection
A friendly and smart skycap. What a blessing they were, and how we thanked them. $$$
Waitstaff who will go to the kitchen and find out if there is MSG in the food you want to try.
Natives with directions and suggestions and smiles.
Family who don't mind if you tell them the same story more than once.
People who don't feel it is their job on this earth to change your mind to their way of thinking.
People who care enough to ask you a question, and then listen to your answer. If they do not agree, they could say "Interesting!" I find many, many theories interesting. Doesn't mean I agree, but it does mean I respect your theory.
People who seem to just love their work. Work can be easy time, or hard time and nobody should be doing hard time. I wish everyone could love their work. So nice to find them ready to help you.
Employers who treasure good employee's. Now there's a concept.
Sunshine as the sun sets after a long, cool, rainy day.
A parking spot near the subway in Washington DC. We actually asked a nice lady who was walking, if she was leaving, she said yes and we followed her. Otherwise, there was just NONE!
Children who don't tell you if you snore.
July, 2016-Today's MINI-A daughter by your side when you start a fire in the pine needle pile from the exhaust on your garden tractor and load of tree branches--did I mention we are in the Manistee National Forest, in drought conditions? She got it out as I hurried back the path to get Jim, but after dousing the little bit of smouldering stuff with water, all was well. Thanks, Lynn! Then about 12 oclock, I had to go outside and check one more time.
