Don't Sit Around & Mope, Bless Others Even When You Feel Like Not.

I was in a sort of mope type of mood today. Like I didn't want to do anything today, but I knew I had to pull myself out of it and bless others and that is what I did. I baked peanut butter with mini chocolate chips and mini-Reese pieces in the mix cookies. I also baked red velvet with cream cheese baking chips cookies too. Oh my, I had a few miniature Reese cups today & a few Hershey kisses too that were left over from making the Christmas trees. I had to nip that in the bud so to speak. How did I do that ... I bagged them up in a cute Merry Christmas zip bag to take into work to give to a co-worker. In the event she wanted to make those Reese Christmas trees.

 I pulled up CNB radio music and played Christmas music and paused to listen to a time of ministry this afternoon with Dr. Aaron Winter's ministry. See, to get out of a certain state, you operate in the reverse and pull yourself right out. Yep, I filled out Christmas cards, packed up some home-made cookies and chocolates from Waggoner Chocolates out of Canton, Ohio. I have them ready to go out in the mail to bless those that have blessed me. I really wanted to go into town which is about 35 minutes away to look at a larger tv for one of the bedrooms that I have a 32" tv in that room. I just didn't want to go today so why sit around and do nothing. I at least changed the bathroom shower curtains to the Christmas one's I have and put up a few Christmas decorations. Hey that is a start right. Sometime, I still have to make butterball cookies, and Christmas Crack candy but in a slightly different version this time. Using ritz crackers not saltines and after the chocolate chips melt on top of the toffee portion, then you spread on top of that Heath bar pieces and chopped pecans. Oh my, I can only imagine the calories in a piece of that.

So, lesson learned ... don't sit around and mope even though you may feel like it. Others are out there ready to receive the blessings that can only come in the fashion you send forth the blessing. Sure, people bless others all the time, but do they bless in the manner that is your personal style of blessing. Be adventurous and bless the one you really want to bless in your heart. I can guarantee they will not turn down or turn away that special blessing coming from you. If you don't bake, then how about sending fresh flowers to them to be delivered to them @ their home. Just a thought or two.
