What Blessings Have I Missed?

Posted on 10:51 by Unknown
After reading a story like the one that follows, I have to wonder what blessings, what ministry opportunities I've missed because of impatience. What would I have done if I was behind the wheel of that cab? Would I have driven on? Would I have hurried to the destination? Would I have missed the simple blessing of giving a moment of joy to another human being?

And am I missing blessings today because I am in too much of a hurry? Am I too focused on John that I'm missing the simple needs of the people that are silently waiting for a kind word or a kind touch?

If you are touched (or shamed) by this story, please share it.
