Dear Delilah,

Have you ever heard of that scripture in John about being blessed?

A friend of mine once told me that "being blessed" meant that bad things would happen to you and that it was up to you to believe enough to know that God would bless you no matter what. That somehow through your blessings, you would find miracles.

That is the way it has been in my life.

My favorite song is by Roger Whittaker. It is about bringing me a rose in the winter time when they are hard to find. Delilah, be blessed. I want everyone to find miracles.

Dear Ellie,

To me being blessed is knowing fully that God's grace is sufficient. His grace is sufficient for my needs, for my heart aches for my hopes and for my future. His grace will get me through anything and everything, even the worst of times. I am blessed to know that the One who created the universe cares deeply for me, and watches over me like a mother bird watches over her baby chick. The creator of all that is, thinks about me and wants me to know He loves me completely. To me, THAT is being blessed!

God bless you richly,
Delilah
