Blooper to blessing
December 8, 2022
My intentions were good. Neighbor children had a Koolaid stand. I decided to buy Koolaid for a neighbor in a wheel chair and his wife. The children were thrilled to help me deliver this treat. Opps, unruly dogs almost knocked us over. We were barely able to deliver the treats and to deafening barking, rushed away. Opps, I thought. Bad idea.
Later, this neighbor who had been in bed that day stated, “You made my day!” He was in pain and discouraged, and could not come to the door. It was not the Koolaid and cookies, but our showing up that mattered. We remembered Him. Good intentions paid off. Our simple act mattered on a day he needed us.
God can change our bloopers to blessings. Romans 8: 28 says so. He knows others needs, and our hearts.
