To Bless Is A Blessing!

Whenever we get an opportunity, we must try our best to be a blessing to someone else in need. God doesn't give us our talents and abilities solely for the purpose of being blessed, but also to be a blessing towards others. I encourage you to be a blessing and show the Jesus that lives within you openly with the rest of the world.

One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.

A young white man stopped to help her – generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxi cab. She seemed to be in a big hurry! She wrote down his address, thanked him and drove away.

Seven days went by and a knock came on the man’s door. To his surprise, a giant console colour TV was delivered to his home.

A special note was attached. It read: “Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes but my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband’s bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.”

Lessons to learn:
- Offer help to anyone who needs it.
- Thank others for helping you.
- If you help someone. Someone will help you.

If everyone does just these, the whole world will live in happiness.

“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you…” John 15:12

Blessed Day!
