Blessings
Some call it serendipity, others good luck, chance, a fluke,
but writer Charles Williams calls it the groundwork of the Omnipotence.
When we acknowledge God’s blessings in our daily lives, we humble ourselves.
In the culture of the great ‘I am’, such humility is counter intuitive.
We think great thoughts, make important decisions and forget that
‘God alone workest great marvels’. How mightily are we tempted?
How easily does our ego insinuate upon the blessings?
Dear God, ‘pour upon us the continual dew of thy blessing.’
A Prayer for Clergy and People in Morning Prayer. Book of Common Prayer 1662
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 1:3
In Rwanda a bishop’s wife recognised a problem and set up a sewing program.
Rigmer Mothers’ Union in Wales set up a fundraiser for more sewing machines.
What blessings from God!
