Blessing Oil
I received a small bottle of blessing oil from my mother who brought it back with her from a trip she took to Israel. Everyday my 4 year old granddaughter and I would eat lunch together and enjoy each others company. When we were finished we would each pick out promise card from its container. (These are those little pieces of paper with a verse on each side..we call them promise cards.).anyways, these were always precious times and they were followed by placing a little blessing oil on each others forehead and saying a simple blessing. One day my granddaughter says to me "Papa we are almost out blessing oil! What are we going to do if we don't have anymore?" I took her little hands and said "Let's pray that Jesus will always give us just enough to bless each other with". When we were finished praying I said "No peeking sweetheart we have to have faith" she said "No peeking" and I placed it on top of my wife's china hutch. The next day, for lunch, we were both amazed to see that the oil in the bottle had doubled in volume! Each time it would be almost gone we did this. Many times I would put it where no one knew where it was except me and the Lord. I have stopped counting the times it has been double in portion and every time it still has that sweet "Rose of Sharon" smell. I know of no one who has any of this type of oil, except my for my Pastor and he certainly isn't sneaking into my home and filling it up! Praise God! With this miracle He has given my granddaughter and I a precious promise: Jesus is faithful and true and is always there for you. You don't have to be afraid!
One time my daughter came over in the middle of the night with tragic news. I reached for the bottle and found it to be half full. What a testimony to all my friends and family as they have all seen the miracle of the blessing oil. I share this knowing full well someone needs to know how much He loves us and will never leave or forsakes us!
Thank You,
Mike and my granddaughter Venice
