Blessed to be a blessing

Morning: Psalm 71; I Kings 22:29-45; I Corinthians 2:14-3:15
Evening: Psalm 74; Matthew 5:1-10

One elderly person I know is so full of thankfulness for life, even though she struggles with many things, that she is an inspiration to me and everyone she meets … When you live this way, you bless the world and you experience blessing, but not as a reward for good deeds.  You feel blessed when you regard life with gratitude.  And as your gratitude overflows, others are inspired to appreciate their lives too. Being blessed and being a blessing are opposite sides of the same coin.
