Wawa First United Church News – March 8

The Second Sunday of Lent

This week the scripture was Genesis 12: 1-4a and the message was on the ‘Blessings’ Abraham received from God and the blessings we too receive.  There is one little caveat on receiving blessings and that is ,”, .. so that you will be a blessing” (Gen 12:2c) We should be willing to share our blessings with others in any way we can.

“Jesus tells us not to be showy and draw attention to ourselves when we are generous and use what we have to bless someone else (Matt. 6:1-4) “ Our challenge this week is to go into stealth mode. “Be creative. At least once a day this week use something you have been given, something you have been blessed with, to secretly bless someone else. Don’t let them know it was you.  It could be a family member, It could be a co-worker. It could be a total stranger. It does not matter who. At least once a day, this week, use something you have been given, something you have been blessed with, to secretly bless someone else.”  How hard can this be?
