REINFORCEMENTS

REINFORCEMENTS

It is always good to know reinforcements are sent in at times most needed. Whether they be by fate, charma, coincidence, or from God, it is good to know someone or something is on your side. After last week's encounter with the snake in my grass (and no I do not mean a man...............lol), I have been a little hesitant to mow my lawn again and it needs it.

Well, here I was sitting at my computer thinking of a topic for today's blog when I heard a knocking at my front door. I mentally said to myself if that is religious solicitation and I had to get up and lose my train of thought on here, I was not going to be pleasant to deal with!

When I looked at my door window there stood a man I didn't know. When asked what he wanted, he asked me if I wanted my lawn mowed. I dismissed him immediately and then realized what a hasty decision I had made. I called him back and asked him how much he would charge to do my front lawn. He thought for a split second and sheepishly answered, "$5.00".

WOW, only $5.00! What a deal! Before he could change his mind on the price and before he could see the eager look on my face, I agreed. Then to top this offer off, he said he would do my side yard (where there might be more of a possibility of a snake as that part of my property is next to a vacant field) for another $5.00. "You got a deal", I eagerly said.

I don't know why he appeared at this particular moment and day, but I am grateful he did. I don't know if this "blessing" was a repayment for something nice I have done for someone else or if the Gods were watching over me or if I was just lucky. At this point, with both yards mowed and me not having to come across another snake and me not having to spend all my life's savings, I am not asking any questions and just accepting it for what it is................a reinforcement when I needed it. Sorry lawn mower, you will have to sit for another week.
