BLESS OTHERS AND BE BLESSED

Coronavirus has arrived like a whirlwind and has been causing so much despair around our world.
It has left good people scratching there heads, why, and what am I going to do in such a time as this.

At this point in time, it is easy to become self focused, and we start to look inwardly about our circumstances and
how life has given us a raw deal. What we do with where we find ourselves is a revealer of what we are truly made
of. Here are some things that we can do to not only change our own circumstances but also of the circumstances of others:

1. BLESS OTHERS                                                  

Blessing others is not on the forefront of our minds when we are facing turmoil, but can be the greatest source of self blessing when it is done with the right motive. Blessing others can be achieved in many ways:

A. Spending time with others  -  Even with so much social distancing and isolation taking place there are many opportunities to connect and spend time with others electonically. There are many apps out there where we can speak face to face. Our Church choir tried connecting via zoom last night seeing as we cannot meet together. A great time was had with about 14 of us. Nothing really got done but we were blessed by just spending time.

B. Praying one for another  -  God hears our prayers and when we bring others before Him in prayer it is like a sweet smelling odour as we have not asked for ourselves but for others. Others is at the very heart of God. It is He who gave of Himself for others so that they might have eternal life. Praying for others actually brings blessings upon your own life

C. Giving to others  -  Giving can be seperated in many avenues. We can give of our time. We can give of our knowledge. We can give of our experiences. We can give of our advice and we can give of our money. Money is one of those areas that can cause alot of contention with people who naturally selfishly hang onto it. But is a principle found in the Bible that is more blessed to give than to receive. I have found within the internet marketing realm most want you to join up in their program so you can make money off of them. Wouldn't it be a novel idea if we were to use our own money to pay for others into a program, to bless them. The idea of PIF for others has been around for a long time and if understood and embraced then can certainly explode the earnings of those involved.
I have been a member of 10 to Infinity for the last couple of months and one of the things I have noticed is that they have a PIF feature. That is one of the reasons why I was attracted to it. I get the opportunity to PIF for others to be a blessing and in return I get the blessing of helping them but also helping my own business.
I have been able to PIF for 8 people already and some of my referrals are happy to PIF for others also. I hope you can see that blessing others actually blesses us in the long run.

2. THINK ABOUT OTHERS                                                   

How we think about others goes along way to improving our own circumstances. Remember when we are going through something our thinking is only on ourselves and how miserable we feel.  Often we see people as part of the problem of our lives. We form judgements and opinions that often, because of our own negativity, are not often validated. Changing how we think about people will often change the way we communicate with others which has a direct correlation to the way we feel about our own circumstances.
When we change the way we feel about others, we actually change the way we act towards others, we start to bless others and we ourselves are blessed.

Our world needs a change from the normal and you can be a part of this change. I challenge you to start blessing others and be a part of the solution for so many who are struggling. You in part will help them to start being a blessing to others. The ball will start rolling and together we can make a difference.
