Sometimes People Bless You When You Least Expect It
Author: siggySometimes people bless you when you least expect them to. I remember once working at a residential home and taking apart a vacuum cleaner for its passage way was clogged up and thinking nothing of it.
My boss noticed that and commented and praised me for doing that and said in passing another worker is not able to do things like that.
I realized at that point my ability to fix the vacuum cleaner was a gift. Not everyone can do that. Sometimes we are so quick to dismiss abilities we have because we know other people can do it better. Her praise was a gift and blessed me.
Another time I was at my school and showed a teacher some poetry of mine and she rapidly read some of my work and then commented, “I can’t write like that.” She had multiple degrees and I had none but she blessed me when she said that.
Most of the time people bless you when you least expect it. We take our own gifts for granted and other people remind us, sometimes, they are really gifts and you have been blessed by them. Every gift is by grace. Never forget that.
