Invisible Woman

I've been feeling like the invisible woman.  Yep, no one see me or remembers my contributions.  When I help with things, my name is always left off the thank yous.  This used to bother me, I wanted to be recognized and thanked.  I wanted the attention. I wanted people to see my value.  I didn't want to be invisible.  But, I've just very recently begun to see the benefits of invisibility.
Invisibility allows me to are able to work in behind the scenes ways to deliver the love of God. It allows me to be be stealthy. It means that I can totally focus on others without worrying about how I look.
God allows his invisible woman to constantly be there and to support others in ways they might not even know.
My friend has cancer - again.  My job is to help her ignore it and feel normal.  My job is to take her to lunch and pick up the check.  My job is to slip her some cash for gas or a new cute hat.  She doesn't know that I'm ministering to her because I do these things all the time - not just because she has cancer.
I'm just being me. Nothing out of the ordinary.  Just loving others as I can.  Invisible.
But, my Father sees me.  He knows what I am up to, and that is all that matters.
