"Eucharisteo means 'to give thanks,' and give is a verb, something that we do. God calls me to do thanks. To give the thanks away. That thanks-giving might literally become thanks-living. That our lives become the very blessings we have received."
One Thousand Gifts pg 193

This week I was given a gift. An unknown friend gave the gift to my husband. She saw it & happened to think of me. She doesn't know me ~ she knows my husband, but not me. She knew through conversations with him I was looking for it when she saw it in a store. She listened to the nudging of God and bought it for me & in doing so, she blessed me.
Each time I use it I will remember how God blessed me through her. Gifts don't have to be huge or grand or given on special occasions in order to bless someone. If we listen to & obey the nudging of God we can be a blessing in someone's life. We may never know how much it means.
How can you be a blessing to someone today?
