The little blessings

Sometimes we look past the little blessings in life. Sometimes we wonder how God will use each one of us, to influence a person, to be apart of A story of some sort. Sometimes, more often than not, God uses our weaknesses as well as our strengths. And what is the most surprising of them all, is when He uses the things you thought he would never use to bless some. You don't know how God will use you. You don't know if He will use you today at all. All you have to do is be willing to allow Him to use you in whatever way, whenever, he wants to use you. It could be scrapping poo out of a turkish toliet(which is gross), it could be helping a little kid stick stickers on a butterfly, it could be teaching english to women or men that have a desire to learn, it could be from a smile, a simple hello, a pat on the shoulder, a simple glass of tea, or a heart to heart conversation about the Lord. He uses each of us in different ways. I have recently been reading this book called "Scouting The Divine", by Margret Feinberg, and it was neat to read about the Bee's. Without each bee the beehive wouldn't survive. Just like the church. Each person brings something unique, something important, something special to the table. Without each person it wouldn't work. It doesn't matter if you are EXTREMELY strong in your walk or just hobbling along God can use you. In powerful ways. Today I was blessed by a 12 year old boy named Nur Muhammad (He goes by Nur) This boy amazed me. His english was superb, he was sweet to everyone, and he was funny. We played Tic-tac-toe and the dots game. And at first I let him win, but he soon caught on and BEAT ME ugh lol. but the coolest part of getting to know him was his background. He came from Afghanistan, took english classes while he was there, his mom and dad are still living there, and he is living in a small apartment with his brothers and sisters/aunt and uncle/ and cousins. The most beautiful sight i saw from this boy was when he drew this cross, in the middle of the cross he wrote in Farsi,"I love God, and God loves everyone" he then decorated it and cute it out to look like a kite. This boy blessed me today, with the simple actions of beating me at games but the simple phrase for the world to see. It's about 11 o'clock and I have had a very long day. Thank you for the prayers and just remember don't be discouraged if you don't feel like you are being used. You will be surprised at who is watching and how you are blessing them. Talk to you guys later BYE
