Of Sowing, Reaping, But More Than That: Undeserved Blessings
Me and "Undeserved Blessing"
Undeserved blessings can come in great to amazing packages. Recently, I was blessed with a Cherry Mobile Nova by one of my clients. Well, it wasn’t really a “blessing” in the full sense of the word, as we Christians know it. You see, in “Christianese,” when you “bless” someone, you give that person something, without expecting anything in return. A real, full gift. Mine wasn’t exactly a gift; rather, the unit was financed for me, issued for an ongoing, possibly permanent project I’m working on.
I’ll be repaying the unit via salary deductions. I’m looking forward to being able to pay it in full, actually. But as it is, I’m already grateful that a long-held prayer was realized sooner than I targeted.
I’ve wanted and prayed for an Android for a while now. But not as long a while as I’ve been praying for an iPod Touch. I’ve been praying for an iPod Touch since it came out in 2007 or 2008, I believe. And after three years, the dream has been realized.
Of course, I sowed along the way. In my church, we were taught that when we give, God blesses us tens to hundredfolds after we give. I gave to achieve that, in the past. Later, I learned to give because it felt amazing.
Today, I feel like what I received in the way of the financed gadget was more than what I had asked and given for, in the past. After I tinkered with and saw the full potential of the Cherry Mobile Nova as an Android device, I realized I no longer urgently need an iPod. I still want one, however, as there are quite a few apps on the iOS that aren’t accessible via the Android platform. But that’s a different story.
I didn’t save for or work too hard to get this undeserved blessing. I did, however, pray. Bugged my Provident Father in Heaven for it, like, daily. He gave me something better than what I specifically bugged Him for. 
And for that, I am more than grateful.
