I was recently able to visit one of the best summer camps on the planet, Turkey Hill Ranch Bible Camp. After an enjoyable visit with the staff, I had to return home to work and the mundane routine of life. On the car ride home (b/c everyone knows that the best thinking is done in the car, shower, or laying in bed trying to fall asleep :) ) I realized that during that trip I was blessed b/c I allowed myself to be a blessing to the staff at camp.
That's when I realized that God and life are both full of paradoxes.
When we give, we receive.
When we teach, we learn.
When we search for an answer, we find more questions.
When we embrace solitude, we find friendship in the Lord.
When we are silent, we hear more.
When we argue, we always loose something.
When we are weak, we are stronger than ever.
When we become a blessing, we are blessed.
Sometime we don't allow ourselves to become the blessing. I don't know why, but often pride is to blame. We should allow ourselves to become the blessing and in blessing other people with our presence, our attitude, and our friendship, we become blessed ourselves. :) May you become a blessing today.
