Thankful Thursdays

Ever burn your toast? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Yeah, me too. More times than I care to count. I just sigh, scrape off the burnt parts, and butter it up. I really never think that in the few moments it took me to do that, life quietly may have rearranged something for my good.

So it is according to the Burnt Toast Theory. It’s the idea that setbacks, interruptions, and slowdowns might actually be saving us from something worse, or guiding us to something better. It’s like a little nudge from the universe (or a divine whisper, if you ask me).

We’ll probably never know how many times something annoying actually saved us. Pero maybe that’s the point. Who knows, maybe grace just kinda slips in as burnt breakfast or a weird detour.

So next time our alarm fails, el cafecito spills, our toast turns to charcoal, or the drawbridge goes up at the most inopportune time (ugh, that one’s mine), let’s not get frustrated. Breathe…… Let’s consider the possibility that this isn’t life going wrong. It’s life going right, just not on our schedule.

And for that grace, sneaky as it may be, I am so grateful.

¿Y tú? What are you thankful for today?

Until next Thursday’s post…si Dios quiere.
