So last night at 2:00am, I got up to use the bathroom (too personal? Probably). My mind went to the thought of blessings again. I wondered what unexpected blessing I would receive the next day. Then the thought occurred to me that I should be a blessing to someone else! I shouldn't expect God to always give me unexpected blessings. The daily blessings I receive are wonderful and amazing. Do you stop and "count your blessings" often enough?
My bed, house, clothes, stuff in my house, a/c (LOVE that one), plumbing, electricity, phones, my car, my finances, job, son, family, pleasures in life, and freedom. SOOO many more. So many we take for granted every day.
I have been blessed lately to be able to be a blessing to others at times. It feels wonderful when I do. Years ago, a co-worker bought my lunch. I tried to pay for it and he repeatedly said "no" then finally said "Don't rob me of my blessing!" I like that saying. I like that idea.
So today on my FB wall, I posted:
"We are blessed when we can be a blessing to others. Today I'll look for ways to BE that blessing!"
Now I watch and wait to see who I can bless today.
