Another Blessing, a Hidden Gift; 


A few weeks back in
September Asher was very sick. We went through lots of tea to keep
things moving. Well, we ran out. A friend who lives 30 miles away
said, ‘If you need something I will be glad to bring it to you if
you can wait till tomorrow when I am at work and closer to you.”


I said that was
fine, I asked her for a box of Bigelow Spearment/pepperment tea. I
knew that she would not be able to get to me till her lunch break in
the afternoon.




Well, that morning
Asher was in really bad shape, a doctors appointment was made for
1:30 that afternoon. I knew I would miss my friend but asked her just
to put it on the door knob to my apartment.


We just had to go
out to the grocery store that morning, Asher needed tea right then,
it was the only thing that was helping him. So we bought a box of
Bigelow Spearment/Pepperment tea. I knew the box was coming from my
friend but knew he could not wait. I knew too, that the tea would not
be wasted, I like it too. So when we got home that morning with the
tea we bought, Asher opened the box and had a cup, then another, and
another. We went to the doctors office, got a diagnosis, then had to
go to Walmart to pick up the recommended items the doctor told Asher
to get.




When we arrived
home, my friend had been, and had left the box of tea in a bag on my
door knob. Asher took the tea, checked the bag for anything else, and
put the tea in the cabinet. There was already a box of tea open no
need to open another. Now we had back up.




I sent a quick note
to my friend and thanked her for her time during her lunch break to
bring me some tea. That was two weeks ago now. Yesterday, I got a
text from her and she asked if I had received the $20.00 bill she put
in the box? I said, we never saw it, not really realizing we had not
opened that box yet. So Asher went in the cabinet and opened that
box, and said, I don’t know how she did it, but there indeed was a
$20.00 bill inside the unopened tea box. I had a feeling there was
something more to her visit, but I did not visually see anything in
the bag. My friend is just like that to add a little surprise, and
surprise she did.




Of course I had to
tell her the story of how come I did not find it for two weeks. She
was relieved that I found it. And so was I.




God continues to
bless us in ways we would have never guessed or imagined. And after
the $20.00 bill was found, I went into the bathroom, thanking the
Lord, and the Lord said to me “ See, I AM taking care of you”,
and I said, indeed you are Lord, and I am thankful.




I have started a
blessing wall which I will post a photo next. I have to remember to
post on my blessing wall the $2.00 increase in Foodstamps this month.
I was favored, so my Social Worker said when she said not all got an
increase. So my heart is full of many thankful words for I have seen
the hand of the Lord in the Land of the Living.




In the month of
September alone, God provided $200.00 in blessings. Actually, the
$2.00 increase in Foodstamps would actually fall with my October
Foodstamp allowance. This brings my total now to $121.00 a month of
FoodStamps.




God has blessed me
so, and I hope by me sharing with you, that you will be encouraged
that the Lord sees all and knows all about your journey and He will
provide for you too.
