Earlier last week, I was preparing for my Thursday Bible class and began to wonder if it was worth making the effort to lead the class. I'm not sure why but I was feeling a little down and started talking myself into pulling the plug on the class as soon as it was appropriate.
I was just getting the class started when one of the members approached me and said, "It isn't very much but we want you to know how much we love and appreciate you and this class." She handed me a Christmas card and inside the card was a very generous gift. But the words written inside the card were priceless. It was just the pick-me-up that I needed.
A fellow I used to work with liked to talk about "right now blessings." These were blessings that came unexpectedly. And so often they came just when they were needed the most.
Do you think I left class that day with a new desire and determination to give my best in preparing and teaching the class. You bet! That's what a right now blessing will do for you!
