fr: "The Blessing" by Gary Smalley & John Trent
This was like drinking after a dry hot day. It pains me to hear others poke fun or tease. I crave wholesome words ... words that inspire and empower. So when I read about blessings I was overjoyed. First, because I really didn't understand the 'blessed is he who' that you find in God's Word and last because it is so simple to give.
Giving a blessing is a special gift that is well thought out. Plan for special moments like birthdays, weddings, celebrations, and even for times of trials. Always use a word picture to express high value. After you plan it, go for it. Soon you will find that you are always conscious of your speech. Words of blessing will flow every day and not saved for just special times.
I am going to share my first conscious attempt in giving a blessing. It was for a 18 year old young man. I had to express this in writing due to the many miles between here and there. I cannot tell you what it meant to him but a blessing is two sided. So for me it is a marker and a reminder of my commitment. I will reread and recommitment this young man to prayer as he makes his journey.
Woooo Wheeeee, 18 years!!! Here in America it is a turning point where you step out into the world as a man ... for the lack of better words ... without training wheels of home! Exciting times maybe a bit scary but lots of possibilites ahead in your future. You like your name are fully warrior and never forget it. Always come back to that because it is your strength. Live fiercely and go for your dreams full tilt. Don't be afraid of the softness you feel in the deepest part of your soul. That is your creativity, your art, and your humanity. An old celtic proverb says "Never give a sword to a man who can't dance!" It takes both art and fierce battle to live this adventurous live of yours.
I see a special future in you! I cannot wait to see gaming products with RS, inventor written on the front. Always put high values and morals in them proving to the generations behind you that good can always win over the bad no matter how ugly it gets. It takes an inventor to create games, so it takes God to create you and all the personality and gifts tucked inside your heart and soul. God is the Mighty Warrior and learning under His study will give you more wisdom and insight for strength for a warrior's mind. When the game is played, the inventor does not tell all the secrets and you have to work yourself from level to level. So too does God leave our journeys with mystery that we often do not understand. Wait always on God and be encouraged! He will strengthen your heart!!!!
I am always here and I will be watching for your games. Please share your successes with me!!!
. :{{{Happy Birthday, RS}}}: . goooooooooo get'em!!!!!
I can't express how excited I am in finally understanding what a blessing is all about....
