I’m Blessed
March 13, 2024
I recently met with 2 widows, one on the journey a few years and one a few weeks. How blessed for this new widow to have another, a bit further on the journey to come along side, comfort, listen, encourage.
She reminded me of how I had encouraged her in her new journey. No profound words, even worthy of remembering, I simply said to her, meaning it, “I’m blessed!” Widowed, yes, unwanted, yes, yet I knew early on I was blessed. Just saying the words, God reminds us of His unexpected touches of comfort. As she heard it, she pondered. She focused on God not her circumstances and realized she has blessings too.
Sometimes the simplest words matter, encourage, and prompt another to see God.
