A Special Gift

She walked up to the door unassuming, ready to give of herself to me.  That morning she purposed in her heart to come and serve.  Heaven had called her on assignment for me and she responded.

"I know how hard it can be with a newborn so I have come to spend the day with you.  I am here to do whatever you need so you can get some rest," she said gently.

Had she heard my tired tears from the day before?  Did my weary heart somehow connect with hers even though I had never spoken with her before?

"I pray about everything.  I am a firm believer in bringing all things before Him, " she said.

The grace of heaven continues to pour out on my behalf.  A tired momma is important in the heavenly realms.  My heart breaks at the kindness of it all.

The gift of community is deep and life changing.  Receiving help from another refreshes the soul.  Why was I so reluctant to ask and receive before?  Self sufficiency keeps the heart at a distance.  It is a lonely place to live.  I want to live in community and bask in the blessing of the giving and receiving.

Thank you Lord for being attentive to my needs.  Pour forth blessing over the woman you sent to serve me today.  Your grace continues to overwhelm.  I slowly find myself unraveling before you wanting to receive more of You.  I am undeserving but your grace covers me!  Praise be to you Lord Jesus.
