Blessed

I'm experiencing clearly what it means to be blessed.

On the one hand, the week has been really tough... with the return from Taizé Praiseland to Everyday Toils. In my case, it also meant some unexpected financial distress with cancelled client work and an incoming payment being postponed by months.

Yet there have been enormous delights, too, mainly through friends willing to help. Someone paid back an old loan; someone else bought food and drink for our coming together. Another friend gave me a list of potential business partners' names & numbers, and told me to simply introduce myself as "her friend". All of the calls went well! All were willing to discuss business!

This morning some friends were here to celebrate my birthday. We also sang new Taizé songs. It sounded truly beautiful. Surrounded by people who care, I feel very blessed indeed.
