Wise Quotes - ADDED BLESSING

A blessing in my definition use to be subjected to riches and wealth. Until I grew up and finally realised that waking up to see another day is also a blessing. My realisation of this made me more appreciative of life. As the well known song goes:

♬♪♫
Count your blessings
Name them one by one
Count your blessings see what God has done
Count your blessings
Name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.
♫♪♫
I can bet you're either singing or humming to it now......😆

You count your blessings and you do realise you're actually blessed beyond measure.......but wait, have you ever thought about the fact that with ADDED BLESSINGS comes ADDED RESPONSIBILITIES? Ecclesiastes 5: 11a (ICB*) says "The more wealth a person has, the more friends he has to help him. spend it".

Some will say, when you come into wealth, thats when you know you have family and friends.......that's true to say but when you do, be sure to extend that blessing because by blessing others, you open up the channel for God to come through and bless you again.

While discussing this topic with my hubby, he made a very profound statement which got me thinking for a while. He said and i quote " God's blessings are extensive but we usually make a mistake by thinking it has to be something huge before we can give back......we can give back with every little blessing we have".

God has blessed us with all heavenly blessings.....Even His creation gives back with all its' beauty and fruitfulness. Each day is an opportunity to share on......be it a talent, wealth , wisdom, good health, gifts, wisdom etc, use it to bless others. 

For parents, it'll be your responbility to love, care and lead your children to Christ......For every any leader, the way you manage or lead your workers/colleagues will have a lasting impact...... For every individual, giving back a smile won't cost a penny and for a minister(in whatever ministry God has placed you),  it'll be your responsibility to give back to those entrusted in your care.

Have a blessed day as you think about these words.
