Last evening I was blessed by my stupidity.
My covenant group was meeting and I was responsible for playing the DVD for our study. The DVD would not play on my computer. We went to another room to use a real DVD player, only to receive the same technological rejection.
I studied the DVD, noticed a slight smug, cleaned it thoroughly, only to suffer identical results.
We went back to my office and watched the next DVD in the series. It played perfectly well. Better yet, the lesson we watched spoke directly to my heart about issues which had my bees buzzing last week.
Afterwards, I shared with the men why bees were buzzing in my head and why I was in an extended grumpy mood last week. Building from the lesson we watched the men helped me to discern how to get the bees out of my bonnet.
It was a good night.
This morning, I decided to try the failed DVD again. Before putting it into my computer I looked it over again. The DVD was perfectly clean. Then I noticed the label. I had the wrong disc.
I am grateful that God covers my mistakes.
He turned my stupidity into His blessing.
Romans 8:28 is truth for which I am grateful: “God works all things together for good, for those who love Him.”
Yeah – reminds me of Forest Gump – stupid is as stupid does. So happy you can share the dumb stuff – it helps us all to do the same.
