My blessing is this (Scott Dannemiller)

  So my prayer today is that I understand my true blessing.  It’s not my house.  Or my job.  Or my standard of living.

  My blessing is this.  I know a God who gives hope to the hopeless.  I know a God who loves the unlovable.  I know a God who comforts the sorrowful.  And I know a God who has planted this same power within me. Within all of us.

  And for this blessing, may our response always be, Use me.
