Big Blessing The challenging most difficult circumstances have within them; the greatest victory and blessing. Blessing is something that we learn over time and experience what it really is. The building of faith in God is the point. Building a faithful people that have a ongoing lifestyle and are accustomed to God coming through in time of crisis. God wants to stretch his people to be a great people, called to do great things for him. Jim 1: 1-7.  I am facing this in many different ways. These circumstances are unreal, unusual even freakish. The human interpretation of this is typically; why me, what did I do wrong, God must be angry with me. A victim instead of victory. God's plan is to make us victorious in all we do. But to have a victory there must be a battle, we must fight for doing what is right.  Many times we make wrong turns. Seeking God and getting the right directions the right tools, and getting on the right path is the point.  My wife Wendy and I went down to the HB pier this morning to bring hot breakfast burritos in shrink  wrap, to the small homeless group that congregate there in the morning. I looked around and saw one man laying on the concrete steps. I approached him and said "have you had breakfast? Do you want a hot breakfast burrito?" Sure! He then began to eat the burrito with the plastic. I said whoo! "take the wrap off the burrito." Then I ask him if he could hand out some burritos to his friends and he said yeh, but could you bring me back a soda? I said sure, after church will you be here? Yeh, I'll be here.  I told Wendy service with a smile. We talk about how important obeying with this task God has given us.
