Bless you...it's not just for sneezes anymore

We are "the blessing people."
At the heart of our identity as followers of Christ is our calling to bless people.
It is an ancient calling that started when God told Abraham he would be blessed in order to BE A BLESSING.

On Sunday we told several stories of "blessing". My challenge to you was to go through your day looking for opportunities to be interrupted; opportunities to step away from our agendas and our schedules and be available for people; opportunities to look people in the eye and bless them.

Definitely hard to do. Downright scary for alot of us. Especially when you think they might look at you like this. So we shared a few ideas: When you are at a restaurant or coffee shop or hardware store (really anytime you are in a place where someone is serving you) take the time to thank that person and ask a very simple question: "How can I ask God to bless you today?"



Well, here's how you can bless me. Try it!
And as you try it, share your stories with our online community.
* How are you finding ways to bless people?
* What happened when you asked God to give you a holy interruption?
* How can we pray for you or the people you are trying to bless?
