Has the LORD redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has saved you from your enemies. Psalms 107:2
It has been an amazing morning so far; I missed my flight, then when I did get on a flight I had to go through the full security check, and finally (?) the soda I was going to take with me opened up in my jacket pocket! Praise God what a great day! No really!
I wanted to book a later flight on a different airline, but it was nearly $400 dollars more than the lowest price. While the company I work for pays for the tickets, they expect us to be reasonable… and if I were to book the more expensive flight they very well may have charged me the difference. Anyway, the flight I booked was due to leave Greensboro at 6:20 AM, this morning. I was certain that the e-ticket said 6:50 AM. So, not thinking that I really needed to be there a whole hour early, I missed the 6:20 AM flight. The helpful ticket counter agents booked me over to the flight that I preferred! Better yet, I was booked to the front row, bulkhead seat! (Arguably the best seat on the plane.) Well, because I missed my flight and got re-booked, I must have met a security risk profile, because my boarding pass was given a code that means I and my stuff have to go through the most stringent security checks. As I went to the security line, I saw that there was a long line. The TSA screener at the head of the line saw my coded boarding pass and said, “You’re lucky, there’s no wait for the full screening.” Finally, as I boarded the plane, the soda in my pocket let go. Ah, but the jacket… and the pocket are waterproof! Only a little leaked out and as I was in the first row, the flight attendant was able to help me by supplying plenty of napkins. :-)
The LORD has blessed me today, certainly not because of anything that I’ve done to deserve it. He has taken these bad breaks and turned them to good. I believe it is an example, if God can take these minor problems and turn them to blessings, how much more can He do with the “larger” issues we deal with in this life? Even if we do not see or understand the good, it is there.
