Blessed

I’m blown away by the attitude of one particular person from my new church. She and her family don’t have much in the line of material things. They collect bottles and cans for deposit and use the money to buy food for themselves and their animals. Often she will come in praising God that she found five dollars worth of cans or was able to get her bicycle across a normally busy highway as if the seas had parted for her.

Today, during a phone call, she was talking about what she experienced as she shoveled snow yesterday. She realized that when she moved the snow, it was no longer beautiful the way it was when God moved it. “Only God can truly enjoy the beauty of the snow and move it so that it still glistens. That’s what I was thinking about the whole three hours I was out shoveling snow!”

Me, I have to have a snow blower to clear my 50' driveway. She’s out shoveling, for three hours no less, and praising God and learning from Him in the process. I come away thinking I’m missing something. But I think if I keep listening to this Godly lady, I might just catch a bit of her humble heart.

Praise God for her humble heart and your willingness to learn to be the same. This proves that you are also growing in humility!

Read this post and the next. Made a comment on the traffic situation and I was about to continue blog surfing when I realised the similarities between the lady you talk about and the person who I named my blog after......a person I have never met. Don't know why but it occurs to me you should read the very first post on my blog. The blog is: arthurstace.blogspot.com
and remember to read the first post: about Arthur Stace. Sorry but hope you get something from it. And thanks for your blog.
