Rose, what a pleasant surprise to see this thread. I always see you sharing your love on other people's thread but nothing for us to give our love back to you....till now. :D
So this is my story that happened a little over a week ago. I had a couple more nice experiences since but this one is just special that keeps me thinking about it, and I've only shared it with one other person.
It happened right before Christmas during Christmas dinner where all our families from California got together. It was one of the best Christmas of my life because two of my cousins from different families both mentioned when I saw them during dinner on Sunday that they like to see me more than just once a year only during either Christmas or Thanksgiving. We were never really close and during our youth there were some bitterness between us, so it was like a wall between us had come down when I heard it.
I reconnected with God about 1 1/2 year ago, and earlier this year I decided to start praying for others and praise God every morning before I get out of bed. So Christmas was the first time I saw them since I started praying for them and when I saw them, they were really nice and open with me.
And it just dawned on me last Monday that everyone I pray for is nicer and friendlier towards me. It's not something I pray for as all I do is ask God to bless them. Before I use to pray and ask for help for myself but not much ever happens. Now I pray for others and thank God daily and now I see blessing constantly come my way. I know there are other things I'm doing that causes the blessings to come but I realize now this is one of them.
And Happy New Years Rose and everyone else reading this, but above all, be bless. :D
