Prayer: Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A blessing is the visible, perceptible, effective proximity of God. A blessing demands to be passed on - it communicates itself to other people. To be blessed is to be oneself a blessing.
Two days ago, a woman asked me to bless her when I met her in the morning, as she was sweeping the church. Later that day, I returned to that church as it was being closed and I met the same woman who then saw my distress. It was her turn then to hug me, and pray over me. What an incredible day this was.
You know how blessed I feel! May God bless you throughout each day...every day. In His Love, jer...
