Blessing

Today I heard a Word! We are "blessed to be a blessing". If you've ever wondered why you've been given much, you now have the answer. God has given each one of us talents and gifts. Why? To honor Him by serving others. To bless others. So many of us withhold our gifts and talents and use excuses like, "I don't have time" or "I don't have enough money" or "my job is so demanding, I just don't have the energy" or "my kids keep me so busy". Don't get all confused and irate on me now. Obviously, our children and their extracurricular endeavors are very important as is our job. But should they be used as an excuse for not contributing to others? For not serving and giving in your local church? No, it is a cop out. Carve out the time to share your gifts and talents, include your children. You never know how God will use you and what opportunities you miss because of your holding back and waiting for the right time or the right outfit or the right bonus. You are blessed to be a blessing. Go bless somebody!
