It has been a hot one the past several days and being gone during that time I was worried about my plants dying because of lack of rain. I had pondered calling someone to water but didn't want to bother anyone.
However, it happened again! Another "gift." As I was unpacking the car this afternoon I heard a gentle knock at the back door. It was the neighbor boy who wants to mow my grass but he didn't talk about the grass, he simply said, "is there anything I can help you with?"
Oh my goodness! My heart melted because I also was wondering today if I should call a friend 4 blocks away to help me lift the A/C into the bedroom window. That's the first thing I thought of when he asked me but I couldn't get the A/C out of the closet yet.
So, I asked if he would be so kind and water the flowers. He had never watered flowers before so I showed him. He even asked about others in the yard that I never thought of. He will come later this eve and we will do the A/C but I have a few things to do first.
This morning I sat in my rocker on the deck and marveled at God's creation and thanked Him for it all. I ran out of time and wasn't able to finish all the yardwork that I wanted to do but expressed gratefulness to God for all that was there to enjoy. I wonder if He heard me?
And then the knock on the door; I bet He did! It's the first time ever this neighbor has come over and offered to help. I don't have a question about Who heard what; I know! Has this ever happened to you?
Remember: "coincidence...God's way of remaining anonymous!" Have you ever had some chores that needed an extra hand to help you and you just didn't know where to turn? Or has there been an issue or situation in your life that you didn't know how to sort out?
Have you ever had someone on the other side of the door who knocked and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Maybe it was the neighbor but maybe Someone bigger than the neighbor inspired him(her) to offer to help! Amazing...grace!!
