What is a “just-in-time” moment that you are grateful for?

  • LaurenGripp94

    I am grateful for meeting my boyfriend and soulmate 7 months ago. ~I was at a really depressing point in my life after losing my grandfather 2 years ago. A friend from high school that I haven’t talked to in years saw a post on Facebook and gave his condolences. He noticed I was about to give up all hope so he gave his friend that he was with my phone number. That was when my boyfriend came along and turned my world upside down/right side up.

    Well, I am grateful for God's efforts, at least, even though I didn't exactly take the advice...one day, I ate three fortune cookies, and all three said, "A new pair of shoes will do you good." I kind of giggled and thought, "What a coincidence!" I even ate another cookie to see if maybe they all said that, but the next cookie I ate was something different. That afternoon, during a meet, my shoes started falling apart. If nothing else, however, I am grateful for the sign that the Universe is loo...

If nothing else, however, I am grateful for the sign that the Universe is looking out for me and guiding me through these subtle synchronicities. This is especially comforting in light of the fact that I used to be terrified and thought God hated me. I have a much different worldview now.

    Cam. Just in time. Offered me his arm. His compassion. He showed me how in the face of grief people can show the greatest humanity. He showed me how my story could be different. I am so grateful for this person coming into my life at a time when I needed him the most. I am blessed

    The time a few days ago when a driver slammed on his/her brakes just in time. Missed hitting the passenger side of my car by probably one half of an inch. I was braced for the crash. And then realized the crash didn’t happen.

    Finding Br. David on OnBeing with Krista Tippett. I first saw him on TedTalks a few years ago. Now, just in time for the new year. Grateful!

    • Heather

      Yes. I heard that interview.! Krista Tippett has been a life saver during a long journey of grief I have been on and Brother David is one of the highlights. So beautiful

    There are many small ways in which this happens for me and I acknowledge it and say thank you. For instance…a package arrived for me…just in time today! ????

  • kathleen

    Snow and ice came just in time to slow down and rest.

  • Bree

    I’ve had a bunch of those this past year. Most recently though, it would have to be right before I fell completely apart and just gave up all hope, my love came and was comforting, supportive, and reminded me that I’m not in this alone.

  • Sheila

    There have been occasions when I have been driving and was distracted or lost in thought and I have looked up “just-in-time” to slow down or I would have hit another car. I always say, “Thank-you God”!
    Wishing everyone a safe and blessed day.????

  • Shelley

    Christmas Eve, my family and I were driving home and what would normally take 20 min.s to get home, took 3 hours due to bad ice weather. I had so much anxiety(I was driving), I was trying to keep calm, I turned on the radio. NPR had a segment with Brother David, his calm, grateful, wise demeanor…helped me to calm down and see that we were ok and to be grateful that we safe, warm and had each other…. *

  • Michael

    When, about five years after my divorce, an acquaintance saw me at a dance hall while he was dancing with a young woman he just met. He came over and said he wanted me to meet a nice Irish girl. That “girl” and I have been married 32 years. Prior to our meeting both of us had given up actively seeking life partners. The meeting was just in time.

  • Kevin

    I am grateful for many, many things. But at this hour I am grateful for the new day rising that arrived “just-in-time” for me to wake and experience it.

  • Palm

    My husband getting work just when the car needs repairs, as we need it to take our daughter to a new, farther school. Just hoping that the new mechanics can get it right this second time.
