October 30, 2024: My Daily Prayer
"You will be blessed the moment you realize you already are."
⁃ Bryant McGill
I have no idea how many individuals have a daily objective in their lives; a guiding principle. My daily objective; part of my morning prayer is that I may be a blessing to someone today. Being a blessing to someone can take many forms. It might just be a smile to someone I don't know as we pass on the street or at a store. That blessing could be a hug or maybe a kind word of greeting to a stranger. We have no idea the impact our actions can have on another human being. Our smile or warm greeting or hug may be the only kind gesture that person receives in the course of a whole day, and yet by sharing that simple gesture, we might validate their self worth by showing them respect and caring. How many of us can recall a time when we were down, a bit discouraged, and someone lifted our spirits with a kind word or a pat on the back or a nice smile? The gestures may be small, but the results could be enormous! How about forming the habit of being a blessing to someone in your house or your family each day and then expanding that to the wider world? Here's what will happen if you try this; you will find it impossible to be a blessing to someone else without some of the glow of that blessing getting on you. Please give it a try. Be a blessing to someone every day of your life, and watch as you blossom fully into the person you were meant to be.
