blessings

Blessings don't always come the way you expect them to. A smile, handshake, letter, hug, child, laughter... there are no limits. I sometimes forget that, that blessings are so simple that I'm blind-sided and a little surprised when they hit me.
I go to a different kind of church, one that reaches out to drug addicts and alcoholics, and although I feel a little out of my element... ok, a LOT out of my element... one of the guys who is currently coming out of an addiction gave a testimony this morning that falls into the category of one of those "blind-sided" blessings.
How did I not see the blessing? How did I miss that I have the privilege of seeing these peoples' lives changed? This morning, my blinders were taken off.
Lord, help me to keep them down.

Bless you my child, I was happy to read that you hear when HE speaks to you thru others.
