“Facebook” has become a household term in America.  Many of its users are considered to be fanatics, but without a doubt, this social media outlet is an excellent instrument for staying connected with family and friends, sharing daily activities, family news and the occasional reflective thought.  For the past two years, during November, a Facebook friend of my wife’s updates her status by daily posting something she is thankful for.  She acknowledges that God is at the root of it, appreciating that she is truly living a blessed life.

The Bible poignantly expresses in 1 Corinthians 4:20 that, “God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life Robert Morris in his book The Blessed Life reminds us that everything we have belongs to God.  We have been empowered by God to be to take charge of what He has provided.  The blessing has only one requirement – to be good stewards of this provision, thankfully recognizing His generosity, and returning to Him a portion of what already belongs to Him.

Billy Graham was quoted saying, “God has given us two hands, one to receive with, and the other to give with”. Powerful words from a revered man of God!
