How many people do you know (and do I know?) who are somewhat resentful? No matter how pleasant they seem, they get their dig in, express their "but", or purse their lips.
"What a wonderful dinner!" she says. "Too bad it wasn't salted enough."
"You are looking good, girl. But have you thought about a different color of lipstick?"
"Yes, his policies are exactly what we need. Too bad he leans to the left so much. It would be easier to support him."
I got to thinking the other evening -- what if you or I made a specific effort to be a "blessing man" or "blessing woman"? What would be the harm in it?
If you think about it, every blessing you or I give to another increases the goodness in our world. In fact, if we pray not just that someone's needs be met but that someone is blessed, we are going maximizing the positive, we are shooting for the very best!
What if the person you or I blesses rejects the blessing?
Well, it simply bounces back on the blessing man or the blessing woman, doesn't it?
That's the really neat part. You can give and give and give -- and you can never lose. There is simply no way to fail.
