BLESSINGS for you and others - poem and thoughts





We may not always feel this way, but we are blessed! We are blessed with things that we may take for granted from time to time, such as love, friendships, an abundance of food, a home, and, most of all, a God above who watches over us and loves us.
I cannot find a truer word, nor better, to address you!



Nor song, nor poem I have written, ts sweeter than, "God bless 

you."

God bless you! Thus I've wished you all that Christian joy possesses,




for there can truly be no joy unless, indeed, God blesses.


God bless you! So I breathe a charm lest grief's dark night oppress 

you, 



for how can sorrow bringyou harm, if it's God's way to bless


you.



And so through all your earthly days may shadows touch you never,


but if they should God's blessing will keep you safe forever.

Great joy comes in giving to others from the bounty God has given.

While seeking happiness for others, we unconsciously find it,


 for ourselves.

Whatever gifts and abilities and talents we have,

they should be used to bring blessing to

others. That is one mark of being a good steward,

for what has been given to us. Jesus

had strong words, seriously strong words,

for the un-profitable servant.
