Along the way, I distract myself from my concerns in many
ways. I do crafts - for myself, for friends and loved ones, for my Etsy shop
and for the local needy. I write - blog posts, free lance writing efforts, and
more. I do a little de-cluttering. And so on...
Last night, I began a short series of blog posts about folks
I know that have Etsy shops, or about Etsy shops I just plain love, or about an
Etsy shop whose owner almost desperately needs some sales. I thought I could at
least write a few words each evening that might bring some attention to those
shops. Last night it was about CathysCraftWorld.
Lo and behold, this morning I had a sweet surprise order
when I checked my own Etsy shop. I was trying to help someone else, and it
looks like the Lord has tried to help me! Isn't he amazing? Isn't he wonderful?
Oh, it's not like I will expect this every time, but it surely does tell me that
I am doing the right thing by helping others in spite of my own concerns. I
think that's what it's all about - didn't he say we should love one another as
he has loved us?
This order and another, last month, were each multiple-item
orders. That knocked down the number of items in my shop. I have been
neglecting my own shop of late, in a way. I have a tote with "stuff"
- I need to take photos and add them to my shop inventory. Obviously, from the
way he works, I'd better do that quickly.
Sweet Lord Jesus, thank you so much for the surprise help
you gave me this morning. Bless that buyer abundantly, and bless the people whose shops I mention in the coming days. May we all help each other, each in
our own way, always and forever.
