Showers of Blessing

It has been a while since I have written.  Life has been very busy and
most women know what I am talking about.  There is little time to
ponder the moments of a day.

Wherever we find ourselves in life, we are busy.  If we are young, we
are busy with schooling and marriage.  In mid life, we are busy raising
children and making a good home for our family.  In later life, we are
 busy being grandparents and coming alongside our children to encourage them.

In each of these seasons of life, we are also a silent mentor to someone.
There are always people observing our lives.  There are women that
watch us and listen to us while we are doing one day at a time.  They
see something in us that they would like to add to their life.  Perhaps
it is kindness, gentleness, encouragement, etc.  We do not think about 
this enough.  We all have gifts to share with other women that can help 
them to do life in a better fashion.

When we focus on this, we begin to see how God uses willing people to 
bless others.  I have been blessed by kind words that have been spoken
to me or sent in a card exactly when I needed it.  God has given me opportunities to be the best part of someone's day.  We need to leave a
place better than we find it.  We need to be women who are a blessing to
other women not a curse.

Many times I will think about how God has blessed my life.  It is over
whelming to realize that God cares that much for me...and you.  God
has done things that I would have never asked him to do.  He has given
gifts that have thrilled my heart and He was the only One who knew
what I needed.  He cares that much for each one of us.

I have been given the opportunity to spend time with my children and
grandchildren.  What a thrill to see what He is doing in their lives. 
He allows me to be a part of what He is doing.  I can share His love
with family in word and most importantly in deed.  I love the way God orchestrates each day.  He knows what is best not just good enough.

May His shower of blessings cover you and amaze you.  He is so good.
