Early in the morning, after waking up, I asked Jesus to bless my day, that He would give me, as well as to the inmates working under me the right heart and the right attitude; I also asked Him that we would &#8220;produce&#8221; a lot of milk today. And that is exactly what happened! Throughout the day I felt Jesus being with me, I felt His favor through my colleagues, through the inmates (they did work well, even the more rebellious ones had a good attitude); the weather was better than in recent days, and we ended up milking well above the average amount.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Then, as I was walking home, I knew I would walk past a grocery store that is open even on holidays, and I knew they usually have cakes, and I was thinking how I would really enjoy a piece of cake now. But Jesus has been speaking to me about self-control, as well as being a good steward of the money at my disposal, so I decided to skip this opportunity, and I was fine with it, I felt it was the right call. Even before I got home though, I had the thought that God might just bless me for doing the right thing &#8211; and He did \ud83d\ude42 Getting home I found out that my mother, about an hour earlier, decided to walk to that same grocery store, and she bought two pieces of chocolate cake; one for herself and one for me. I was smiling, and told her about what I was thinking and praying about on my way home, and I could tell that my testimony blessed her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">So, after taking heed to the gentle voice of the Spirit, I was not only surprised with a piece of (very delicious) chocolate cake, but it was much more than just that. It was a kind gesture, a simple blessing from Jesus AND, through that, it was an opportunity to testify of Him to my mother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">This is how Jesus blessed me today. I&#8217;m looking forward to a good day of rest tomorrow.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000\">I hope y&#8217;all are doing well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Zoli<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thank Jesus and I praise Him for a blessed day at work.
