Blessing

Today's sermon was about being a blessing. Am I a blessing? I mean...I know in the grand scheme of things that yes I am a blessing. At least I think my mom thought so...so it must be. The greater question this morning was how can you be a blessing to others in your everyday?

When I get frustrated at the McDonald's drive thru gal because I have to repeat my simple order more than once...sometimes more than twice...I am not a blessing to her.

When I punch it on the freeway because I'm impatient...I am not a blessing to the cars around me.

When I sleep in and have to rush out the door thereby not have time to wash the dishes...I am not a blessing to Sean.

I know that there are lots of ways every day that I do things for the people around me that are a blessing to them...this isn't some super existential crisis I'm having...just a wonderment about the ways we all can be blessings to those around us.

It's worth thinking about I think...
