In church on Sunday, Pastor Lloyd talked about how we should live our lives and strive to be a blessing to someone. It made me wonder how I can be a blessing to someone, and who has been a blessing in my life.
There are so many youth and adults that I come in contact with each day that are huge blessings in my life. How are they blessings? They may give me a encouraging word, they may just smile and ask how I am doing, or they might go out of their way to help me or pray for me. That is what a blessing to me is.
I try to be a blessing to others by writing letters of encouragement, helping my neighbor, and serving in my community. It might not be much but I know that I am helping someone and trying to make a difference in others lives.
One of my favorite quotes by Saint Francis of Assisi is "Preach the gospel at all times and if necessary use words!" Actions always speaks louder than words.
Each morning I listen to KTIS radio station as I get ready for work and on my way in my car. Each day they say, Be A Blessing to someone today. I hope and pray that today you are a blessing to someone who needs that extra touch to get them through the day.
