Blessings...

Each day as we walk through life, we are surrounded with blessings.

Remember the movie, The Lion King, and the circle of life that sort of formed a code that the animals of the jungle lived by – certainly the lions. They ate the other animals of the jungle, that is true, but if they killed more than they needed, the balance was disturbed, and the entire jungle suffered.

I think there is a circle of life in blessings. Sometimes, people do things that we don't expect, or we might receive something we didn't expect, and we are blessed. Blessings can come in any number of ways. Kind acts, gifts, sometimes even a smile from a stranger can lift our spirits and be a great blessing. Those we know best can be blessing in their friendship and love. People can cross our paths and bring us great blessings.

Sometimes, we cross paths with others and bring them great blessings. Perhaps we do a kind act for someone else, we might just give a smile to a stranger and lift their spirits. We might give a small gift that means so much to someone, especially if that someone has a particular need that we might meet. We are blessings to those special people we consider friends, and share our friendship and love.

So each day, we both bless others, and are blessed by others. A circle of life...
