Today is Ash Wednesday. I decided to fast today. I also started to post a daily challenge. Today I was supposed to pray for my enemies. I feel blessed that it took me awhile to think about who I had to pray for. I try hard not to make enemies. But, each day will be an interesting challenge and help me continue to be aware of opportunities.
Because it is Ash Wednesday, our regular programs for tonight were canceled. So, even though I was done with work at 5, I didn't have to be anywhere until the service at 7. I had thought about staying and working on some other things or working out, although that probably wouldn't have been a good idea without eating. Then, about 20 minutes until I was done, I got a phone call from a friend. Her car was broken down and she needed help because her husband, mother-in-law, and step daughter were stranded. So, I knew exactly what I was going to be doing. When I got off work, I picked her up, picked up her family and took her mother-in-law home. I got to their house to drop them off about 10 minutes before I had to be there.
It was amazing that this happened today. Wednesday evenings are always busy. And, I rarely have a couple hours to kill. But, today was one of them.
So, where was God today? He was in the circumstances and I had the ability to help someone in need.
Blessings,
Jennifer
