It is so good to bless; with your time, kind words, a note, an unexpected act of kindness, a listening ear, a hug, a phone call, an unexpected meal, a prayer........................... the list is endless. It is not about looking for big things, rather the smallest and simplest can have the greatest impact.
If we ask Him He will show us who, when and how to bless, but there is still another blessing that supersedes all of these.
Many of us often use the expression "I am blessed," and I think what we are saying is that we have received 'the ultimate blessing'.
This explains it really well................
The ultimate blessing
Because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross, we have been blessed. When he died on that cross for us, he did the impossible and mended the relationship between us and God. We went from God’s enemies to being his people. Because of this momentous act of Jesus, we know that God will look after us, both in this life and in the life to come. We look forward to the ultimate blessing we have been promised – life in the new creation where all the evil of this life has been destroyed and we get unhindered access to God. That’s a blessing that I can get behind!
So when we’re
talking about how God has blessed us, what we’re saying is that God has
accepted us and has welcomed us into a relationship with him. And that he has
expressed that relationship by giving us good things. That doesn’t mean that
everything will always be perfect in this life. But we know that we are on
God’s side and at the end of days, we know where we will be standing.
Today (day 45) I am thankful to have received the ultimate blessing.
