Too blessed to be stressed

Hi Dave and church!

I consider it a great privilege to be able to write you today!

We have been without power since Friday due to the big east coast snowstorm that gave us more ice than snow.

So I'm happy to report this morning that we now have lights, heat, and Internet!

Yay!

You tend to appreciate those little things when you don't have them.

That got me thinking about the many blessings we have that we take for granted.

And that go me thinking about this whole thing of what it means to be "blessed."

We all want to be blessed, not cursed.

Nothing wrong with that.

But so many times the prayer for "more" sometimes creates "less."

We seek the "blessing" and get broken instead.

We want a crown and God gives us a cross.

Ever wonder why that is?

Jesus reveals the secret here:

My advice is to stop fighting it and start embracing it.


I am your brother,
