The thing is many people don't care to notice this because they have come to think it's normal. What about one's health? I am happy we now have smoke-free environments, but still you have to deal with smokers in public ~ smokers in cars, in the park, near a store entrance, ...These people with a bad habit fail to realize they are infringing on someone's health. I really pity small children who are in this is situation and can't speak for themselves. We do what we can to guard the blessings of good health by avoiding smokers or people who we believe are sick. Of course, each of us are given certain unique blessings that I call talents ~ singing, musician, artist, writer, chef, DIYer, ... My parents taught me that if you don't use it, then you'll lose it. God gives us these talents for a reason and it's up to us to take advantage of this natural ability for His glory and our satisfaction.

On the subject of blessing and cursing, it reminds of the verse from James 3:10 "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be". Haha! Very interesting post. Thanks for sharing. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524671856088482077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1824539601044491117.post-46606886837513580522015-04-02T22:24:23.035-07:002015-04-02T22:24:23.035-07:00I found your post very eloquent.
