> "…TO OPEN YOUR ARMS TO WHAT IS INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL IT IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE…" — THESE WORDS COME FROM BARBARA TAYLOR IN HER BOOK, "AN ALTAR IN THE WORLD". SHE IS WRITING ABOUT BENEDICTION/BLESSING. I HAVE A NEW APPRECIATION FOR THE PLACE OF BLESSING IN LIFE. I GREW UP IN A HOME WHERE WE HAD THE BLESSING AT EACH MEAL. OVER A PERIOD OF NEARLY 50 YEARS I GAVE THE BENEDICTION AT THE CLOSE OF WORSHIP. I SAID SOMETHING LIKE THE BLESSINGS OF GOD THE FATHER, THE SON, THE HOLY SPRIT GO WITH YOUR AND REMAIN WITH YOU. IT IS BETTER TO SAY BLESSINGS TO ONE ANOTHER THAN TO SAY CURSES. IF SOMEONE PULLS IN FRONT OF YOU IN TRAFFIC INSTEAD OF CURSING JUST SAY A BLESSING UPON THAT PERSON. IT MAY NOT CHANGE HIM BUT IT WILL DO WONDERS FOR YOUR ATTITUDE AND SPIRIT.
