Blessing upon blessing

Our heater went out the other day. Just refused to keep working. Obivously this becomes an issue in February with 2 young kids. So we sucked it up and called the heater repairman. A friend of mine recommended him to us. He's local, works by himself and is also a Christian. He goes to Valley Bible Church.

While he was working on the heater today, Christa was in the bedroom talking to me about ministry opportunities, espeically the church in Walla Walla which is back on the table. Greg the repairman heard a bit of the conversation. When he was done and the heater was fixed, Greg said that he would accept no payment from us because of my pastoral search. His exact words to Christa were "Let me bless you".

Blessings indeed come from God when we least expect them. Blessings aren't always desperately needed but they are contually a sign that God is working in the lives of his children. The challenge for us as Christians is to take the blessings which God gives and somehow pass them along to someone else.

Speaking of that, we're fnally getting the DMV work done on the Buick today so that we can pass it along to Emily and Joe
