Warm Blessings on a Cold Day

--by redbutterfly, posted Aug 26, 2010

I went grocery shopping on Saturday. It was a very rainy, windy and cold day. When I came out of the store my friend told me to wait under the covered awning and he would run and get the truck.

While I was standing there waiting, a man came out of the store and came up to me. He looked inot my eyes and asked if he could give me a blessing.

I try to be nice to everyone without being too naive and I knew my friend would be there in a minute or so, so I said "yes".

The man took hold of my cold hands in his and let me tell you, he had the warmest hands I can ever remember. He started his blessing for my family and me all the while staring straight into my eyes. Even his brown eyes felt warm. I felt such a sense of serenity come over my body from this peaceful, loving man and his words.

When he was finished, I had a flash of "he's going to ask me for money, give me a brochure I didn't want or card or something. He did nothing of the kind. He smiled warmly at me and said: "have a blessed day." I stood there staring at him as he walked away, that man touched my heart very deeply that day.

I have been telling my friends what happened and of course some are cynical but others get goosebumps when they hear me tell what happened.

I have been having some difficulty in my life lately and a couple of weeks ago I handed it over to God. Ever since, wonderful things keep happening for me and this website is one of them.
