You never know

I have heard countless stories in my life of folks that were in need of something big to happen and it was humanly impossible for it to happen and yet it happened. When they needed it most, someone came along, an opportunity presented itself, the very impossible became possible.

I remember a quote from Dr. Seuss that says, "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." It is those little things that we so often look over that in time, as we look back, really stand out. Some little something that someone did or said or just the fact that they were there when you needed it the most.

Today's word is one that reminds me that you just never know. It is Hebrews 13:2, ESV, which reads, "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

You just never know when GOD is going to bless you with an opportunity to really experience one of those little things that will become a valuable memory. Yet, if we are only focused on our life, on what is missing in our life, on what we are missing out on in life, we will miss the blessing that GOD is sending our way.

Next time you find yourself in a moment that might seem unimportant, try to fast forward a few years and see if this might be one of those moments that will become a favorite memory. Not because you did something good or noble or kind but because you listened to GOD'S beckoning and followed His nudging. And, you never know, you may just entertain an angel.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
