NOTES FROM THE AWARENESS: 1556

Watch for helpers

Sometimes it would be nice to have a little help in life. If we pause for a moment, we probably can conjure up an image of where and how we’d like that assistance.

And we may feel disappointed, at times, that we don’t get the help we want exactly as we’d like to. We may fail to get the assistance, or it may arrive in a way or at a time that we might not prefer.

What we may not consider is all the help we get, often from unexpected sources, that we haven’t asked for or anticipated. These instances are the unexpected and perhaps unrecognized bonuses in life.

An overhead conversation that provides a with a key piece of useful information. Someone offering us their place in line when we’re pushed for time. A coworker volunteering to help with our workload when it is heavy. A hawk soaring overhead to lift our spirits. A restaurant meal prepared for us with particular care. There are so many ways we get help every day that we may fail to notice or appreciate.

Today’s message reminds me that helpers are always there for me, I just need to be on the lookout for them. I’m blessed with many minor and major miracles in my life.

Please reflect and share. What unexpected help have you received recently?
