Grateful for Abundance

My husband and I left Sunday afternoon right after church for Panama City, FL. We were going down to meet up with some divers to get our advanced certification. We were clipping along at a pretty good pace when we had a complete blow-out. We limped our way over to the right side of the road out of traffic and called Triple A. The kind of truck my husband drives does not have a spare tire, so we had to get a room for the night and spend time the next morning locating someone with the kind of tire that goes on his car. Our plan B was to rent a car and pick up the truck on our way home.

As we sat by the interstate waiting for our tow truck, we talked about how grateful we were that we are in the financial position to make this simply an inconvenience rather than an emergency. We talked about how grateful we were for our abundance.

We talk often about abundance in Unity. We say that we deserve it and that God is an abundant God. Sometimes it feels very abstract. It is at times like this that I see how our abundance gives us a safety cushion for when life does hit. I know that money is not our source and at the same time, I am thankful that for today, we are financially blessed enough to be able to do things we love like diving along with the ability to handle the mishaps that come with life.

My desire is that everyone experiences the kind of abundance that allows them to do the things they love and to be able to take care of the inconveniences that come along. We as a ministry are here to assist people with creating that kind of abundance in their lives, whatever that may look like for each person. I again saw first hand how it is not an abstract teaching but a real nuts and bolts principle to live. I continue to stay committed to facilitating others and myself so we all can experience the abundant life that Jesus taught and modeled for us.

PS-We got the tire fixed that day, headed down to Florida, got our dives in and will be advanced certified when we get back to Murfreesboro. We now sit in a beautiful condominium right on the beach with the ocean serenading us as we settled down for the evening. God is good and I am so blessed.
Abundant blessings for all.
