Happy Easter. Here is a Bible verse that spoke to me: “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Colossians 3:2 NIV.”
Blessings are like wishes, often considered religious and thought of during religious holidays. They can also be considered something great for everyday positivity.
According to Teresa Trumbly Lamsam, Ph.D., "A blessing is a positive affirmation, a wish for good fortune, and a prayer for protection and happiness. But it's more than just words; it's an expression of love, hope, and gratitude….The act of blessing brings joy and fulfillment to the giver as well.” *
How fun to understand that when we send blessings out into the world, it reflects back wonderfully on us!
