A thought on blessing....

When God blessed Abraham, he said that he was blessing Abraham to be a blessing to the world. We too, are blessed by God to be a blessing to the world! That is why we are doing our Blessing Our Community Teams at Community of Joy!

Today, I read a thought on blessing... "Blessing means 'the tangible touch of God'. To share a program or a book or a principle doesn't require you to know God. But to give the blessing of God to people you must be immersed in him. Jesus said it this way: 'Apart from me you can do nothing.'" (The Tangible Kingdom Primer by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay) I love the idea of being the tangible touch of God.... I say all the time that we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus!

Besides the many blessing teams that are working at blessing our community, we are forming an exploration team that will seek ways to bless Pinehurst Elementary School (our neighborhood school). And we are always eager to hear of new ideas of ways we can be a blessing.

Our blessing our community teams are the tangible touch of God! AWESOME!
