Have you ever been out for a walk and looking down you see a twenty dollar bill lying on the ground? You have no idea who it belongs to and neither would you be able to find the rightful owner. You pick it up, put it in your pocket and celebrate you unexpected blessing.
Not every blessing comes like that. There are times when you wonder how anything good could come from what you are experiencing presently. You see your world crashing in and though you know that God is in control, you ask why and you search for answers that refuse to come. The Apostle Paul wrote to a young church in Rome and said, "All things work together for good for those who love the Lord." Well, that doesn't help much does it? However, it is a promise that sustains us in our darkest hours.
It has been a recurring theme: looking back at what had transpired, we see the blessings that came from what took place. These are unexpected blessings that God sends our way. Lives are often changed for the better and at times relationships are built. You may even find yourself moving to a new community and thriving.
Look for the unexpected blessings and thank God for them.
