What if we decide to thank God for all the missed opportunities of life.
What if we decide to thank God for all the desires, hopes and ambitions that were dashed.
What if we declare a praise night when we lose our beloved ones and the job we so much cherish.
What if we dance in the fire, praise God through the flood and smile in the draught.
In the words of the song "blessings" by Laura Story (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQan9L3yXjc)
cause what if you your blessings comes through rain drops?
what if your healings come through tears?
what if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know you are near?
what if trials of this life are your blessings in disguise?
Two friends on a path home shared a story.
Lady J - picks up the phone and call Lady K. "God has finally done it" "There is nothing God cannot do indeed" "See what the Lord has done" "..."
Lady K: Madam the Madam, please calm down and give me the full gist.
Lady J - I got my promotion today ...
Lady K - Congratulations to you. Wow, that is good news and it comes with all those perks. Wow, just wow and congratulations once again.
Lady J - I want to say a very big thank you to you for your help and support for those two months, when I out of employment. Thank you.
Lady K - ... that reminds me, I want to ask you something; have your really thank God and praise him for your employment termination from wyz plc. If you were still at wyz plc, you will likely not have ran into your friend that told you about zyc inc job offer and attendant promotion.
Lady J - That is true but that termination was unjustly.
Lady K - yet it might be but it brought you here. The learnings from wyz plc made you stand out and fast track your promotion also. Don't forget wyz plc was a sweet experience until your employment was terminated. You need to praise the Lord for past, present and future. We need to praise him for the good and the bad.
Lady J - You are correct. I will take some time out during the weekend to really worship God and praise him for all he has done.
Lady K - That is a good one but we will start this evening by having dinner at our usual location and don't forget you are paying. Once again congratulations and see you soon.
