A Quiet Blessing

There's a quote that goes something like this: "Some people bring great joy -- some by coming, some by going."  Consider all the people you interact with in a day: are you a blessing a'comin' or a'goin'?

Joseph Bayly wrote a piece titled, “Quiet Comfort" … “I was sitting, torn by grief. Someone came and talked to me of God's dealings of why it happened, of hope beyond the grave. He talked constantly, he said things I knew were true. I was unmoved except to wish he'd go away. He finally did. Another came and sat beside me. He just sat beside me for an hour and more, listened when I said something, answered briefly, prayed simply, left. I was moved. I was comforted. I hated to see him go."

Dear Lord,
Make me a quiet blessing to someone today.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
