rewards

Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” Luke 6:38 NLT

This morning I asked the Lord for  a surprise.  I had two: my old neighbour called needing help. Her sister was in trouble as the husband who is soon turning 90 was hospitalised and the sister, who has many medical problems had no where to go. The couple do not have children In Australia. My friend is nearly 80 herself and knew she could not care for her sister.  I made a few calls, one of which had me on hold for almost 30mins. I found a solution, and called my friend. Meanwhile I cared for her old dog (he growls and barks most of the day) 

I was spending the day finishing off an assignment due today. It took all day, as they do.

The second surprise was my daughter calling to say hi and tell me she had bought me  present, perfume I used to wear 20 years ago. I gratefully accepted. We had a great chat and lovingly ended the conversation when she had to go.

So, I got to serve the Lord, and receive a blessing,and finish the assignment. Praise God!
