"To bless means to say good things. We have to bless one another constantly. Parents need to bless their children, children their parents, husbands their wives, wives their husbands, friends their friends. In our society, so full of curses, we must fill each place we enter with our blessings. We forget so quickly that we are God's beloved children and allow the many curses of our world to darken our hearts. Therefore we have to be reminded of our belovedness and remind others of theirs. Whether the blessing is given in words or with gestures, in a solemn or an informal way, our lives need to be blessed lives." –Henri Nouwen Bread for the Journey
We have been so blessed by the new friends in our neighborhood... GIVING THANKS for what seemed like camp here on 16th Ave today!! The kids played in our yard and in three other yards of awesome families on the block while we painted and tried to get ready for the moving truck that is coming on Sunday morning...
