Be Blessed

Blessing is something that we all hope for, but not something we all know what to do with when it happens. It kind of makes you wonder, “Didn’t you ever think ahead to how you would react in the event that you were blessed?” Maybe not. But I think what’s more likely is that people sometimes get so beaten down by life that they lose hope for that possibility ever happening. It’s not that they don’t want to be blessed, or look forward to that day happening; it’s just that they no longer think it’s possible, or even that they deserve it.

Sometimes the events that occur in our lives seem like a good indicator of what we deserve. But they aren’t always. If you’ve had a series of dire circumstances in your life, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a bad person. But it can seem like in these times that life is something that’s just happening to you rather than something you’re living. A steady onslaught of negative tends to do some damage to your confidence level. Maybe that’s why blessing is so hard for us to accept sometimes. But maybe I should define what I mean by ‘blessing’. Blessing can include, but is not limited to, some form of compensation for hard work and effort you put forth. It is a blessing to get paid for what you do. But when I think of blessing I’m thinking more about something over and above what you thought you had coming to you. It’s more than you ever thought possible. I guess that’s what makes it a blessing.

Other things are a blessing, like good health, and a place to live, and enough food to eat. Those things aren’t to be taken for granted. But sometimes there are things that happen that just come out of nowhere and just amaze you. And they just make you say, “Wow, I never expected that.” These are the things we should learn to accept as well. Many people will talk about how to endure through hardship, but not many people talk about how to accept a blessing. I don’t know, maybe people think, “I’ll worry about that when, and if, it happens.” But I think it’s important to know how to receive good things in our lives. I think it’s important to accept them and receive them with gratitude and humility. I even think it’s important that we keep our eye out for blessings. And it’s also important that we not think so little of ourselves that we can’t accept a blessing.

There may be times when something comes along that totally takes us by surprise. We may think it’s too much, or our empathy kicks in and we are reluctant to receive it from the perspective of what it costs the other person. We might have this folksy Midwestern way of turning down a blessing—like when we go out to dinner with friends and just can’t let them pay the check when they tell you that they’re buying. Certainly that’s admirable in many ways. But maybe sometimes we just need to allow them to do it. Maybe we just need to learn how to say, “Thanks, you’re a blessing.”
