Flashback

I just had a “grateful flashback”…I was on my way home from the market and the day is damp and dreary…it is raining intermittently…and it is windy…I push my cart to my car and load my groceries…I begin thinking how wet and chilly I’m becoming…I am caught in that thought when I catch a glimpse of a mom waiting at the bus stop with a baby in a stroller…I have an immediate flashback to my days as a single mom..and how I too had to wait for the bus in the rain with my little girl…all of a sudden I had a rush of gratefulness to God…as I pulled off the parking lot and looked over to see the young woman board the bus..I whispered a prayer for her and her baby…and I began thanking God for the car that was now shielding me from the elements…and for not only increasing my natural assets…but abundantly blessing me in every aspect of my life…I paused for a second tears filling my eyes…God is good…Sometimes you need a flashback to remind you of all that His hand has done in your life…today…my soul remembers…and I praise the God who saw me waiting in the rain with my little girl..and He rescued me…He increased my life…He kept me through those years and He is keeping me now…I was that young mother…and now I pray for her…I believe someone did that for me…perhaps one day she will whisper the same type of prayer for another young woman just as I have done for her today…God’s reminder to me today is simply this…He is good…and kind and faithful…and He will change your life…if you let Him😊
