Blessings – Day 4
August 17, 2017
“What were you looking for on that quest?” someone asked me about the two trips I had taken to China and Tibet to climb and visit five holy mountains.
“I’m never quite sure what I’m looking for until I find it,” I said. “But I became acutely aware on that trip what I had lost, and what I missed.”
The 1990s had been hard on me. That period of time was not the dark night of the soul; it was the dark decade of the soul. I became acutely aware in China that what I missed and yearned for was the feeling of being blessed by God.
Inventory Focus: Do you feel blessed? Would you like to feel blessed? Are you willing to forgo resenting your enemies and begin blessing them instead?
