Serendipity: The Finding of Valuable Things Not Sought For

Tuesday’s Pic

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
3 John 2 NIV

 
 
 
Friday was Mom’s birthday, and over breakfast she mentioned that she would like to find a special mug for her morning coffee. On Saturday, I was at women’s conference and this mug caught my attention. Instead of a card, I decided to gift her with this reminder that I would be praying for her each morning as she sips her coffee.
 



  
On Sunday, I brought it over to Mom for the family gathering honoring her birth. I pulled out the mug, and she started crying. Little did I know the impact a coffee mug would produce.
 
Through the tears, she remembered getting a card with this same exact prayer from her own mother years ago. Grandma has gone on to be with Jesus, for many years now, but her prayers linger behind.
 

I Said A Prayer For You Today

by Frank J. Zamboni

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn’t mind).
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!

I asked that He be near you
At the start of each new day;
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!

I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!
