Minnesota Nice, Or Is It ?
Do you believe in “rewards”, “karma”, “ just desserts” ? Me too.
Today is a day I picked to clean and conquer : trash, boxes, dishes, clothes and clutter in my tiny space. I am a prolific prayer and I asked God for a fruitful, safe and happy day. Before noon today I experienced three answers to three prayers.
1. I met my neighbor in the hall and admired the loaf of bread she got from the bakery donations sent to our building that morning. I was headed downstairs 15 minutes later and met her again. She extended her arm to give me the bread. I went all MN n (Minnesota nice) on her, but stopped and held my hand out for the loaf. Being from Somalia, she probably had no idea why I kept saying “no” and then took the bread and thanked her many times (MN..... what?)
2. As I rode down the elevator I was thinking how great a sweet treat would be when I took a coffee break. In the lobby, I saw John, ( a man with whom I had once shared some encouraging words) bracing himself to go outside. As we chatted, he asked if I would like a package of cinnamon rolls …I enjoyed them so much! (MN …mmmmm.)
3. While I was downstairs I prayed there might be an open parking space close to the building. This would make it much easier to use my walker to get to my truck in the next snowy days.A peek outside showed I had four spots to choose from! (MN..... Amen!) .
SO chin up, prayers are answered, even small ones. “ I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free; For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches
me. “ . And that loaf of bread? It was labeled “Artisan Minnesota Nice 7 Whole Grains”.
Have a safe and wonderful snowstorm my MN peeps.
