April 28 – Bless Others as an Act of Thanks to God

Freely you have received, freely give. Matt 10:8

When I stop to really think about all God has given his children… especially in light of eternity…I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.  Aren’t you?

If you look at blessing others as a way of thanking God, suddenly a new light is cast on the entire subject.  We love because He first loved us.  We forgive because He forgave.

And perhaps it’s not a stretch to say we bless because He has blessed us.

Two more days and our project draws to a close.  Have you said a sincere thank you to anyone as a blessing?

  • I bandaged a smashed thumb today for a man I've never met. He's a dump truck driver who smashed his thumb with a framing hammer so hard it bled. When he left with clean appendage and gauze, he thanked me for being a blessing. I thanked him for the chance to help.

    One thing this 30 Blessings has taught me is that I am much more blessed from others, than I can bless. Right now and for the next while, my blesings for others and prayers are for my sis-in-law, Mary Lynn and a niece-in-law, Piper - both are facing breast cancer, Piper for the 2nd time. I pray God will be generous in his peace and healing for these two in next weeks ahead.
