“Blessed to be a Blessing”

Have you ever thought about how Blessing works? Those who are Blessed always speak words of Blessing, wherever they go and in whatever they do. Yet, Blessing is not from the ego, rather, it is from the heart. Why is Blessing important? From where does Blessing obtain its energy? How do we Bless others? What happens if others refuse our Blessing? These and other questions deserve adequate answers which we hope to bring to light in Sunday’s Service.
