Notice how often the Lord blesses you (Fr. Patrick Michaels)

    I will bless you, God says to Abram. What does that mean for us? 

   How conscious are we of the blessings of God that occur in our lives? We are in the middle of blessing, always, but do we notice? And can we then give witness to the fact that God is sending us blessings? 

   Notice how often the Lord blesses you in your life, big and small. These blessings link you, connect you, give you a place in world. 

    We are also to be blessing to others, as Abram was, because God is active in us, acting through us. It’s about how we understand our own existence and we are challenged to see how God is involved in it.
