Unexpected Blessings

I'll just start by saying, it's been a rough week. My car broke down, I have had too much work to get done and not enough time to accomplish it, I've had to sit through at least seven hours of meetings, I haven't had a true day off for about two weeks, and personally I've been kind of off the past few days. It's just been rough.

Today, I had two unexpected blessings. First, I forgot my money at home and didn't realize it until I was halfway through ordering lunch at Panera. I told the cashier nevermind since I forgot my money, and I prepared to turn around and walk away when she told me not to worry about it and that I was covered. I asked her if she was sure, and she said yes. I don't know if they had food they wanted to get rid of or if she paid for it herself, but :I got a free meal today! And with the way things have been going, that really brightened my day!

Second, this afternoon I got a call from the auto shop telling me my car was ready to pick up. And then the mechanic made sure to tell me my bill was paid in full. He told me I have a guardian angel and that legally he's not allowed to tell me who paid the bill. It's simply paid in full. At first I tried to figure it out, not to pay them back but to say thank you, but then I decided to quit trying to figure it out and simply be thankful, whoever it was. That right there brightened my entire week! In fact, it turned my entire week around!

My week was rough, but it has suddenly taken a turn for the better! And the only explanation I can think of is that God decided to use other people to bring me His blessings. The other night I asked in all my frustration for God to help me. I couldn't even specify what I needed help for, I just asked Him several times over to help me. Today, I had two very unexpected but very needed blessings. My conclusion is God did it. And I'm grateful.
