As I wasn\u2019t expecting a visitor, I assumed it was the post\u00adman seeking admission to the building. I made my way over to the front door of my flat and pressed the button on the intercom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello. I work for the television show <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/how-does-law-order-bear-a-resemblance-to-the-bible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Law &amp; Order<\/em><\/a>. We\u2019re doing some location scouting for some in\u00adterior scenes, and I wonder if you might be willing to let me see your apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here was an unexpected request. I live on a lovely block in a historic district, so quite a bit of filming does take place in my neighborhood, but it certainly never occurred to me that someone might consider my humble abode as a location for a TV drama.<\/p>\n<p>I buzzed the man in, and after we introduced ourselves at my front door, I stepped aside to allow him to enter. As he looked around, my mind began to race, thinking of what it might mean if my apartment was chosen for filming.<\/p>\n<p>I had been <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/finding-life-purpose\/a-job-loss-helped-her-find-a-new-purpose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laid off<\/a> from my posi\u00adtion at an e-commerce company some months before, and I hadn\u2019t yet had any luck finding a new job. I\u2019d once read that TV shows and movies paid generously to use pri\u00advate homes for filming. That money would certainly come in handy, as my unemployment insurance was winding down. It all felt serendipitous, even <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/miracles-are-for-everyone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">miraculous<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>My reverie was abruptly inter\u00adrupted when my visitor received a call on his cell. After chatting quietly for a few moments, he turned to me and said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry to have bothered you. My colleague found an apartment down the street that suits our purposes, and it looks as if we\u2019ll be filming there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Was I <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/managing-life-changes\/accept-gods-plan-after-disappointment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disappointed<\/a>? Yes, of course, but I also felt oddly heart\u00adened by the near miss. I was reminded that blessings are often bestowed just when they\u2019re needed most. In this case, the blessing wasn\u2019t that I would be compensated for the use of my apartment. It was being reminded that <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/people-helping-people\/someone-cares-more-blessed-than-stressed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blessings large and small<\/a> await us, though we can\u2019t always guess <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/mysterious-ways-19-unexpected-blessings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when or where they will present them\u00ad\u00adselves<\/a>. But they are there for us, and we must endeavor to re\u00admain open to receiving them.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/gods-creation-is-endless\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">E. B. White<\/a> wrote in 1949, \u201cNo one should come to <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/travel\/historic-churches-of-lower-manhattan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York<\/a> to live unless he is willing to be lucky.\u201d White might just as well have phrased it \u201cwill\u00ading to be blessed,\u201d and the sentiment is true no matter where one resides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a weekday afternoon some years ago, I was sitting alone in my small one-bedroom apartment on Manhattan\u2019s west side when someone buzzed me from down\u00adstairs.
