I try to shy away from posting things that only directly involve me
since social media can easily be used as a selfish medium, but there are
a few rare things that stand out in life that I like to share. This is
probably mostly exciting to me, but it is such a big physical blessing
that I wanted to share it. A few months back, the nice side by side
door style frig that I had, had for years went out on me, so in not
being hasty and in trying to use wisdom in not being rich so to speak, I
bought a second hand one off of Craigslist to tie me over until I was
able to specifically save up and find a refrigerator that I wanted.
Well, in the interim every now and then I would look at frig's when I
would be in Lowe's in person, or look at stores online etc, but I wasn't
seriously looking for one yet though I had saved for one already.
Anyway, yesterday, I didn't wake up and tell myself that it was going to
be the day that I was going to buy a frig, but one just fell in my lap,
brand new from a big store chain, where it was an obvious blessing, and
I didn't have to look any further. With the very minimal time that I
had spent in looking for a frig previously, I wasn't looking for the most
expensive or nicer model frig's on the market, obviously. Nice things are nice to
have, but my priorities are elsewhere in life. Anyway, the one that
"fell in my lap" so to speak yesterday is one of the nicest kinds that a
person can have. It's french door style with the bottom freezer. The beauty of it is that it fell in my lap, figuratively speaking, and not only did I not have to look for it, but it was marked down to an easily affordable price. I think I probably "tortured" all of the friends that
walked by my desk yesterday at work in talking pretty much non stop
about my blessing. I thought my liking to nice frigs had lessened, but apparently I'm still into the convenient machines. :-) I have to give props to the friends. They are so
selfless and caring. Thanks also to the men in the office that helped
me by giving me sound advice on whether to get it or not and about
telling me how to check the specs on it and just listening to me about
it. They know who they are. You all are appreciated. Having them
around is a blessing in itself being a single woman. I feel like I have
it all, God's blessings,; great friends around! Just joking; I won't have
it all until a particular big event involving many people's lives happens ;-), but it's nice to have perks along the way. It was one of those deals that if I waited
too long would have passed me by...AKA an open door shut. It's nice to
have such wonderful extended family brothers helping to look out. I
have to admit, I really like the culinary arts, so getting a super nice
frig is exciting. If I had been blessed with a new washer and dryer set
in which most of my closer friends would probably tell you I need a
newer set; I would have been thrilled for the blessing, but it wouldn't
have been nearly as personally exciting to me! ...and my old washer and
dryer set still works, so I'm fine with them. God knows us for sure!
Anyway, It's just a frig, and yes I did need a new one, but it's really
the fact that God has been really looking out for me here recently just
over the past few months really so much in my life that it's kind of
overwhelming. Yes, I have my trials, don't we all, but God always
compensates and it's exciting. Anyway, since I entertain a lot the frig
will be used to serve. One thing that I've learned in my particular
life at least is that blessings only come when you are serving
and usually the blessing that comes has something to do with the
service. Anyway, just wanted to share. It's just exciting with all of
the literally out of this world things that have been happening in life
just here recently. Again, the frig is just a little physical thing among other blessings in life,
but it's such a blessing b/c it's a much nicer one than I would have
bought on my own for myself. It definitely was gifted. God definitely looks out!
