We are beginning a new series titled "Legacy" which has sent me on the research trail to identify its meaning in our context as Christians. I've come to the conclusion that God's blessing is His legacy to us and our true calling is being a blessing to others. One of the ways that I practice this passing of the blessing is by praying the prayer found for the beginning of the day in "Three Simple Rules--A Wesleyan Way of Living" by Reuben Job.
Loving Teacher, come and make your home in my heart this day. Dwell within me all day long and save me from error and foolish ways. Teach me today to do no harm, do good, and assist me that I may stay in loving relationship with you and my neighbor. Help me today to be an answer to another's prayer so that I may be one of your signs of hope in the world you love.
Blessings help and give hope to the weak and powerless...we are here to bless others!
Speaking of blessings! The West Ohio Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church begins Sunday June 8th and I will be ordained as an Elder on Wednesday June 11th.
