February 28, 2021 - Blessed to Free
Have you ever planted a vegetable garden and gotten way more produce than you could ever use yourself? Maybe you’re retired and find yourself with lots of extra time on your hands? Or do you have the ability to make a lot of money at your job, more than you really need? You, my friend, are blessed. Not in the way people usually think. It’s not because you have a nice stockpile of food or time or money. You are blessed because God has given you the ability to be a blessing to someone else – to set them free from the burden of need. |
February 21, 2021 - Blessed to Serve
Can you juggle? I certainly can’t. But I can do lots of other things, like lead Bible studies, paint walls, write, sew, use Excel, just to name a few. Only some of us can juggle, but all of us have God-given gifts or talents that we can use to serve others – to change the story. |
February 14, 2021 - Blessed to Love
We celebrate St. Valentine’s Day. It’s a day all about love when we exchange cards and candy and flowers, letting those special 'someones' know just how much we care. Interestingly, a day dedicated to a saint of the church, does not reflect the love that the church proclaims. Valentine’s Day is about the fluttery heart kind of love. When the church talks about love, it’s referring to Agape love. Love that has the power to Change the Story. |

Have you ever noticed how one thing, even a small thing, can make a big difference in someone’s life? It can even change their story. What we do in this life matters. Scripture says that we are blessed to be a blessing. What does that look like? How does it work? |
