One loaf of Apple Cinnamon Bread || Blessed

Through the mail it sailed and in my P.O. box safely arrived! ? A box adorned with happy little strawberries containing a super delicious surprise. With a squeal of delight I opened the package and what do you guess was inside? Great guess! ? A loaf of Freshly baked Apple Cinnamon Bread from a very sweet friend!! Yes, a few happy tears were shed over a loaf of bread which brought with its delivery a ray of sunshine on a rainy Texas day. Y’all, crying over bread isn’t normal for me. ;)  The tears could have been because I was slightly over-emotional due to a cold that came on Saturday or the fact the loaf of bread smelt so outrageously delicious…?! Either way, the joy from that little box sent through the mail was 186% genuine!! ?? As I sit here enjoying a piece of that bread, I’m reminded of the blessing a random box from a kind friend in a far-away land can bring. Not necessarily because of its delicious contents[though they do help ;b] but because of the thoughtfulness of the one who sent it. Perhaps a this is that “cup of water” the Lord speaks of in Mark 9:41?! :) To the gifter(you know who you are) I must say, THANK YOU for making my day and blessing me in so many ways! Your random acts of kindness are used to water my soul and I pray the Lord will water yours in return. Prov 11:25, “he that watereth shall be watered also himself.” That is a promise! To those who may happen upon this post, prayerfully seek to be a blessing to those the Lord has put in your life! A load of laundry, sink of dishes, kind word, little note, or surprise postal delivery done in the name of the Lord can go a long way[Col 3:17]. When you allow the Lord to work through you, your random acts of kindness will be used to bless someone in some pretty amazing ways! This, my friends, is my random post for the week. ;) Happy Thursday! ❤️

“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
Galatians 6:10

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”
Phil 2:1-3

About Rachel

"Come now, and let us reason together," says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken." Isaiah 1:18-20
