Blessed

Everyday I walk down to school its a daily routine and its not a long walk about5-8mins or so. As I walk alone down the road,from the minute I lock my flat door I pray till I get to the school gate. Simple day to day prayers giving thanks and asking for more blessings,guidance,wisdom and protection...well you know what I'm talking about.

Around the corner from my place there's always a young man about 17-19years of age(I think) and every time I pass by his always working on some form of hard labor such as:loading sand or bricks onto he's wheelbarrow and into the yard where he works.This young man stares at me straight into my eyes ALL THE TIME.Not that he wants to take anything away from me(I hope) and its also not that weird "I want you look" type of look.So I always make it a point to greet him cause I mean what else do you do when someone stares at you like that???.Sometimes he responds in a low voice ,just a simple "hello"but today he didn't.Then it hit me,maybe this young man is an angel sent from God.

Maybe he was sent to help remind me of how fortunate I am and that I cannot waste all that God has blessed me with. Every morning I walk down to a university where as he is working in the freezing cold, I've got warm clothes on and we'll he just has the same small size jersey and that's most probably the warmest thing he has in his closet this winter.This young fello has helped me to view my opportunities as a blessing because like myself and all the other students living in my complex this little man also has dreams(maybe even bigger than those that we carry in our souls) but he just doesn't have the opportunities in terms of funds.Even though he may not say much but a simple hello ,he has been a blessing in my life and I see it as a challenge to myself to atleast bless him in return(maybe I should give him my sweaters and trackpants on Monday or maybe even simple breakfast and lunch once in a while) maybe I should do that hey!!! Who knows maybe with my degree I could be working for him one day in he's company.Which is another lesson,don't look down on the less fortunate because tomorrow they could be a blessing in your life! You never know what tomorrow holds! Ke mo lefatseeng mo' kou se mhlabeni la,impilo iza jika broer wami.
So lesson number
1.Pray for blessings and they will be granted.
2.Give thanks.
3.Show appreciation by touching the lives of those around you.
4.Share your blessings.
5.Don't look down on others.
I'm not trying to act all holy holy but remember this: you are not here by chance,you are destined for greatness we are all here to fulfill our God given purpose and to bless and become blessing to others.

Keep this in your hearts' he loves you and has placed you on this earth not to suffer but to prosper. In philipians 4:19 he promised to supply all or needs and in 2Peter 5:7 he said that we should cast all our needs on him! P.ray U.ntil S.omething H.appens God works in many ways,it may not be today and yes he takes time but he's timing is always right.
I'll be praying for you
