Blessed

I want to share a blessing. On Wednesday nights, our Church service is referred to as a prayer meeting. We still have preaching, but we spend extra time in prayer, together as a Church. We take up written requests and have a bulletin with past, on-going requests, then at the appointed time two men pray aloud one at a time as the congregation prays to themselves or along with the men. I miss most Wednesdays due to work, but it seems like every one I make, Pastor hands me a mic to use during prayer time. "You're the second prayer, after Bro Xxxxxx. Keep it under 4 minutes."
No prob there as I am not good at public speaking and am prone to getting choked up when praying.
As I prayed, I obviously mentioned Tammy and how God is already healing her. But along with that praise I said none of this took God by surprise and then thanked God for "those" (plural) who had helped, or offered to help. I really only knew of one person who offered to cook a meal while Tammy was down. There might have been more, but I only knew of one. I just didn't feel right thanking God for the one person thoughtful enough to help, especially since there might be more.
Well, once home I saw our mail that had piled up since Tuesday and in it was a birthday card to Tammy from a member of our church with a check for what we consider a sizable amount. While I thanked God for mere offers, a check with a solid commitment was awaiting me at home.
Though I have mentioned the struggle this has us in on Facebook, this couple isn't on Facebook. God saw my need and chose someone who had no idea to help me.
I am unworthy, yet oh so blessed!


Psalms 115:15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
