A Season of Unexpected Blessings
After playing at my home church one recent Sunday, I was packing up to leave. There was a package to an old battery in my microphone bag. I left it on top of the piano backstage. Something said to me, "Go back and get that battery package." I ignored it at first, but I went back to the piano. Next to the battery package was my wireless microphone. I forgot to pack it. If I hadn't been obedient and gone back for the battery package I would've left my microphone, and probably wouldn't have seen it again.
I traveled to my hometown not long ago to support one of my best friends whose father had passed on. I called him the day before the funeral to tell him I was coming. I had told his son, my godson several days earlier but my friend had asked another saxophonist to play for the funeral. I was tempted to feel some kind of way about this, but decided that I would gladly support them with or without my sax.
I knew the saxophonist at the funeral. We got into a conversation about horns, and he told me about some horns he is endorsing, and he had some extra ones he was trying to part with. We agreed to meet at his home before I went back. Back story: I sold my tenor back in 2009 in tight times. I've been without one ever since. The other saxophonist let me have one of the tenors in his possession for a fraction of retail. This hookup wouldn't have happened if I had been the one playing at my friend's father's funeral. So as a result of yielding to Divine will, I now have a beautiful new tenor saxophone in my possession.
A note about this particular sax. It was produced by a company called CE winds. It has an engraving of a warring angel on the bell. This horn is a limited edition that was prayed over and anointed with oil to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. Another unexpected blessing. And hopefully, more to come.
