Love gift

Three things the Lord imparted on me today. Three ways He showered His gift of love and opens my heart to know His heart of love.
I was also reading a book in class today that elaine had long borrowed and finally returned ;) Below in italics are the excerpt I got from the book.  
Undeserved blessing. Thank you to whoever you are :) for the love gift you have blessed me with =) You gave me more than money can. I was really surprised when I got a missed call from church twice last thurs. Elaine was with me then and I thought that someone from church might be looking for her but couldn't get thru and so they called me instead. Heh. Never would I have imagine that I would receive a love gift, moreso receiving a call from church for that reason. It was good surprised =D I was all prepared to pay the full camp fees by myself thinking that my previous incident of being blessed to Ben Gen would likely not repeat itself again. Because of this, it makes me want to bless someone else through this means :) The call ready did made my day. Even today when I went to collect, I ended work ten mins earlier (something out of the norm) and the bus came the moment I reached the bus stop. I reached the Rock 5mins before they close.
Michelle McKinney Hammond : Are you aware of the joy that can be found in feeding others with what God has planted inside you? Truly, producing fruit is the greatest part of the blessed life. I love to give things away, anything from a word of encouragement to a gift I know someone will enjoy. I love seeing the look that crosses recipients' faces as they receive. I am fed as I feed others. When I withhold from others, I rob myself of joy.
The reading above is a combination of blessing others with our gifts and also what I caught this week about feeding others. I never knew the joy of feeding in terms of correcting someone at the right time. I was afraid to correct until someone told me to address the problem if I see it. But to have the person telling me back that they have been so blessed by my words bring more joy than if I have kept it inside thinking that it'll hurt them.
Be open. I had a good talk with my boss again today while we had some free time. It's supernatural that I'm actually looking forward to spending time with my boss. She said something really sweet today.."I can be open to you because I know you are a lady after His heart". It so melts me =) what I caught was what Pastor has been preaching that anointing is caught and not taught. I would love to catch the spirit this lady carries. A women I greatly respect. To me, new creation is the best church and she is to me the best boss and this centre is the best place to be.
Regardless. I was sited at the last row in class today on the last sit available. Not too bad. I get to eat my dinner or close my eyes a little if I had to. I did both during the lesson and almost fell asleep. Heh. During break time as I was sited outside with my friends, the teacher saw me and mentioned something to which I heard it as 'Missed class'. My quick response was 'No I didn't, I was behind'. She laughed and said she actually said art class next week and at the same time came to give me a long big hug. My fren looked shocked and so was I. A little guilty after what I did during her lesson. I experienced grace. haha. guess what, I love her now =) Grace truly changes a persons heart =)
Link : Good sharing by Elaine and Esther on what the Lord showed them while working with kids and some funny lines =)
My favourite line from Elaine's post =) :
one new thing i've learnt.. responsibility and commitment. angie mentioned to me b4, to look for in a life partner, that you want someone who's responsible, that even in the times that emotions run dry during the relationship, he won't fail to send you home, won't leave u stranded somewhere, even though he doesn't feel like it.
