Thank you God for the greatest blessing of all – your precious Son Jesus.īIBLE SCRIPTURES REFERENCES: * Please note as of November 26, 2021, each verse as best I can remember to do will be labeled as KJV or NKJV or with a different label signifying which Bible translation the verse is from! Follows is until this date info on verses. Thank you God for reminding me how I, too, can be a blessing. Some of the biggest blessings come in small packages, and these very blessings can touch people’s lives for years to come. Just one minute out of my day could help change another person’s life. Not only will I go to sleep tonight grateful for this blessing the Lord bestowed on me through Sister Kim, but I will hopefully remember in the morning an incredibly important lesson. Because just as much as I still bear wounds and scars from neglect in the past by those I have loved, I now am moving forward in my life – albeit slower than I would like – with a basket (and heart) full of blessings. The blessing I received from Sister Kim took her all of 60 seconds to give, and yet the words and love she gave to me will stay with me forever. I wonder if we truly realize the significance we can have in someone else’s life with even the smallest of blessings. My pastor’s wife knows this, and she took the time out of her phenomenally busy schedule to edify and encourage me with life-giving words. I have been struggling enormously lately yet again with how I perceive myself. I would like to say I have strong faith and have perpetually positive thoughts about myself and others, but I do not. Why else was this big blessing so big? At 44 years old, I still struggle with the leftovers of rejection, abuse, and abandonment from the past. The last thing she needed to do right now is make yet another phone call – particularly simply to say “I love you” to a member of her church. Why? First off, she is packing her bags to leave for Haiti yet again tomorrow to minister with her husband to a nation that continues to be in dire need.
I can’t remember the rest of the words she spoke, but I can say the 60 seconds she took to offer me her little blessing was bigger than I could ever measure. “I’m just calling to tell you I love you,” my pastor’s wife Sister Kim told me over the telephone just minutes ago. Blessings come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and tonight I received a little big blessing that reminds me how vital it is that we realize how the little things we do can bring big blessings to others.
