Be a Blessing today!

Today is a blessing. If you are reading this post, it means that you woke up and are breathing. You have another day ahead of you. Don't take it for granted. Don't waste it. And don't miss the opportunities that today will present to you.


I do that a lot. Forget. Zip through the day with little attention put on the fact that I actually have the day to zip through. Every day is a blessing. Live today like you know that. Be a blessing to someone. Simply smile. Give a hug. Make a phone call that you have put off. Respond to that email. Send a quick text just to say hi.


I was reminded yesterday that a little act of blessing from me made a huge impact on someone's life. I did not even know that I had been a blessing. Honestly, I did not intend to bless that person. But God did. And He knew exactly what they needed to hear. He knew the exact time they needed to hear it. And He used my words without me even knowing it. Because I shared what He had taught me. And His words did not return void. They blessed. 


I would love to hear some of your stories about how God has blessed you or how He used you to bless others. I love to hear other people's stories! So if you have time today, comment with a blessing story. Or send me an email or a Facebook message. But tell me your stories! They will bless me!

The unthankful heart discovers no mercies;

 but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, 

as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find,

 in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
