Simply Blessed

Yesterday, I found myself in the lowest depths of depression. I hadn’t felt that low in years. It was the most hopeless of feelings. By the evening, I was wondering what was even the point of living another day. I decided to write a letter to God and tell Him how I felt. It seemed to help a little and I was able to pray through the Lord’s prayer and talk about things I need.

First, this morning, my Daily Light Devotional ended with the verse, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.”

This morning, when I got to work and open my email, there was an email from someone I had met last year at the senior center. Out of the blue she had emailed me to say that I have been on her heart yesterday and she had prayed for me. I sobbed like a baby. I knew it was from the Lord, letting me know He was near.

One of the things that has been heavy on my heart has been getting my sink faucet replaced. Today in morning meeting, one of my colleagues said that one of our nurse’s husband a plumber. I very rarely see her, however in a meeting today she came in to eat lunch where we were meeting and I was able to ask her about her husband fixing the sink. This evening she let me know he could do it for $80 which is way less than I have been quoted.

This evening, one of our former residents’— who passed away this year - daughter came by to say hello and give us a gift. It was a sign that reads Simply Blessed. Yet another confirmation that God is watching over every detail.
