“God is blessing you.”

That phrase was uttered to me in passing by a sweet lady in Cuba during my visit there in 2016.

She was probably meaning to say the often used and (dare I say it?) tired phrase,

“God Bless You”

Ugh…how many times have we heard (and said) that?

When I’ve said “God Bless You” it has been to wish that person a FUTURE blessing.

Or used the phrase “God blessed me” when remembering a time in the PAST.

But to think that God IS blessing me? Right now? In this moment?

Isn’t it interesting how a simple change in wording can give something a whole new meaning?

It has challenged me to see present blessing instead of only thanking God for the past or praying for the future.
