I rushed home from errands, pulled the car in the garage and quickly went to close the garage door behind me. As I turned, I looked to make sure my car was in far enough (learning from past mistakes!). And I saw it. It seemed like for the first time. I stared in wonder of how blessed I was. It was a strange feeling standing there staring at my car. I’ve owned this car since 2015. And yet it was as though I had never really appreciated owning it. I realized I was having a Jesus moment.
“Slow down.”
“See what I have given you.”
“Appreciate that you are well blessed.”
As I stood there listening to Him speak to me, I was opened to the fact that so many people in the world don’t have such ready access to transportation. And yet here I was with two cars, a VW bus, two motorcycles and two Vespa scooters. All, of which, I take for granted will start when I need them, get me where I need to go, and when I need gas I can stop any number of places and pay for it. I just stood there in amazement. And in thankfulness.
An ordinary day made amazing with a whisper from Jesus.
