April 2024: Small Blessings
Blessings can come to us in all different aspects of our lives; a new job, a new job, a new place to live, a new friend, etc. We have to be thankful and grateful no matter what happens or takes place.
This is true especially for my family and I during these past two months...
At the end of January this year, my husband and I received a notice from our landlord, they were jumping the price on rent and we couldn't afford it. Thus, we lost the place we called home and had to move in with my parents at the end of Feb.
In the middle of March, my husband decided to put in his two week notice at his previous employment for Walmart to work for a new company as a part of maintenance crew for 300+ apartment buildings with a good friend of ours who was kind enough to get my husband this job.
He went to said new job on April 1st, and seems like a good fit. April 2nd, Tuesday, he got up for work in the morning and headed out in our car. Sadly, it would be the last time we could ever use our 2019 black Kia Soul. My husband was just outside the city where our friend lives so they could carpool, when my husband was rear ended. He got whiplash and fractured a vertebrae in his lower back. While he's doing well for someone with a fractured bone, our car sadly got totaled, and now we are without a car.
Blessings can come in all shapes and sizes, we just have to be willing to accept and receive them. To lose our home meant staying with my parents for a time until we can find someplace better. To decide to leave a job to start a new one takes courage, but leaving an old job that paid less, to begin a new job that pays more is a blessing. To almost losing my husband in an accident, his blessing was having minimal injuries but returning home to me overall alive and well (for the most part.) To finding the blessing in knowing we totaled our car but can look for a new one.
Life happens. Sometimes it sucks, but we have to look at the blessings to overcome the hardships. The grief. The things that happen when we least expect it. Never take anything you have for granted.
Just in this year alone, only 4th months in. We've lost our home and our car, but we still have each other. Never forget the blessings and the miracles that God performs. He protected my husband the day of the accident, He knows what we need before we know it ourselves. Never forget what God can do. This year is our season of being in the wilderness, for my husband and I to fully rely on God and see what He can and will do.
Small blessings can lead to bigger outcomes.
