I felt sickly today: a combination of allergies, a sunburn, and the beginnings of a cold. I made it through the workday okay, and was focused on getting home to cook a good dinner for N before he had to leave for his Bible study. I wasn't looking forward to all of the effort that cooking and cleaning up would entail, but I was readying myself for the task.
I arrived home and headed straight for the kitchen. And then...Surprise! My father-in-law, D, had sent home chili with N for our dinner tonight. I was so happy and relieved! I am sure that D had no idea what a big thing this would be for my sick self, but what a blessing. It was such a small thing, but it really made my day. (And it was delicious, as D's cooking always is!)
Blessings like these are all around us. We just have to look. And next time you have a hunch to send food to someone, shoot them an email to say hello, or call them to see how their day has been, do it! You never know when that person may need a surprise and a little something to give them some bliss.
