Unnoticed, unappreciated

Lots of things are done in this world that go unnoticed - Good things that help people.

But because they're unnoticed, they're unappreciated.

If you live with someone else, there are probably a number of tasks that are done that fit into this category.

You and others do them as part of life.

It's easy to not pay attention to these good deeds, nor thank someone for doing them because they routinely get done.

Similarly, classmates, co-workers, and friends do things that affect us positively but we're not always aware of these acts of kindness.

Behind-the-scenes activities can be unnoticed and unappreciated.

What about God the Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and angels? 2 Corinthians 13:14; Hebrews 1:13-14

Is our health and well-being better because of divine intervention?

Rain and sunshine from heaven are good things. Matthew 5:44-45

Forgiving our sins and delivering us from evil Psalm 103:1-4; Matthew 6:13 can be unknown if the Lord doesn't reveal that He has provided these benefits when we needed them.

We're often unaware of sins that have so easily grabbed us Hebrews 12:1 and become part of our lives. 2 Corinthians 12:20-21

In due time when we can bear it, John 16:12; 1 Corinthians 3:2 we trust that the Father will point these out to us Philippians 3:15 and we can confess and forsake them. Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:9

Our bicycle hit a large, raised curb and we were falling to the ground but then suddenly we were made upright again. How?

Or we fell asleep driving our vehicle (many times) and woke up to realize that for a second or more, we were an unconscious driver, endangering lives. How did we not have an accident?

He has done so much, is doing so much, and we can believe that He will yet bless us. 2 Corinthians 1:9-10

Maybe we can work on being more aware of divine deeds.

Maybe we can also open our eyes to the everyday blessings that others provide for us, some of which might be inspired from heaven.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with Whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. James 1:17

Surely, we've all done it. We didn't notice the care someone gave us.

We didn't mean to take it and them for granted; but our silence or robotic "Thank you" wasn't sufficient.

Maybe this week and going forward, we can notice and appreciate more.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Colossians 3:15
