Blessing Water

A little over a year ago as I was leaving Target

I was blessed

I am blessed

I am always blessed

It’s simple

It was a simple blessing

It made me remember that God is always with me

Here’s a story that shows He’s always looking out

I am a teacher

The staff bathroom is on opposite side of the building, literally a two minute walk

Not relevant to this story

I just want you to know the struggle

Ok, as a nursing mother, I must drink a lot of water

I keep a case of water at work, a case of water in my car

Either in the trunk or a few bottles on the floor of the backseat

So when I saw this water at Target, I knew it was for me.

Imagine I’m getting into my car and a shopping cart just cool rolls past, diagonally

Not so that it’s blocking my exit or anything, but enough that its vector and presence were quite attention grabbing

I then pulled up to the next row of parking spaces to see

Was there a car or van or person who had just pushed this cart diagonally across the parking lot?

There was no one

Was there anyone driving out the parking lot from that direction?

I really did look around

I didn’t see anyone

What would you have done?

Let me tell you what I did

I grabbed the case of water and put it safely in my backseat

It was special

It came from God

That case of water was a blessing

Because I usually keep water in my car

Either in the backseat or in the trunk

But after this particularly long day I didn’t and I hadn’t remembered to grab a bottle off my desk or stop by the corner store to get some

I just left work, thirsty and tired

I went to go get my baby and husband then we drove the hour commute home

He unpacked the day of work and daycare from the car

Then I jetted back out to hit a few stores, Target being first on my list

At my first store stop, God gave me water

I had worked all day, driven home, and set back out to accomplish more

I was already out spending money on my students (my babies as I affectionately call them)

I was doing something good for others, but I wasn’t taking care of myself

God gave me water

I was blessed

I am blessed

I am always blessed

It’s simple

It was a simple blessing

It made me remember that God is always with me

That water was a blessing

Thank you Lord
