Be a blessing...

I bought this song from itunes (which I am kind of addicted to...) the other week and have been really thinking about the words. It is called The Blessing by John Waller and it talks about the choice we have to leave a blessing or a curse. Maybe I have been thinking about this a lot lately because I am thinking about leaving Tanzania, my home for the last 3 years. Maybe it is because I have only recently understood how blessed I have been throughout my life. Either way, this song rings true and has challanged me to think about the way that I am living and the legacy that I am leaving. We have a choice to live to be a blessing to those around us and may it be said of us (me) that we lived our lives for God.

Enjoy...

Let it be said of us
While we walked among the living
Let it be said of us
By the ones we leave behind
Let it be said of us
That we lived to be a blessing for life
Let it be said of us
That we gave to reach the dying
Let it be said of us
By the fruit we leave behind
Let it be said of us
That our legacy is blessing for life

This day You set life, you set death right before us,
This day every blessing and curse is a choice now
And we will choose to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us
That our hearts belonged to Jesus
Let it be said of us
That we spoke the words of life
Let it be said of us
That our heritage is blessing for life

For your Kingdom, for our Children
For the sake of every nation

The whole CD is great if you are looking for something new...
