My New Thoughts on a Blessing

In the morning i rise with the same discouragement on my heart as the night and day before. I pray to the Lord to give me the motivations to keep swimming through the dread i live in. I have spent many nights and days asking for a blessing.. a blessing in love, work, money, understanding, guidance etc... Then today there was a blessing of not just understanding; but the understanding of being blessed with such a great friend and guide. My ignorance was turned to bless. I realized before me i had a friend who within him beholds such knowledge and wisdom i could only wish to obtain such qualities. His mind is like sponge full of facts and understanding. His heart is dedicated to the Lord but not with the the lashing tongue of a Evangelist or condemnation on his shoulder for all who may walk talk or live in way which he does not. He is a man whom is a vessel to many people and walks closer to God then most of us will ever reach. His presence alone makes me feel i am a bit closer to the blissful existence of what true faith and spirituality maybe. Maybe the things i ask God to bless me with each day are not revealed in this instance, but still i behold the blessing of a treasured friend. That i will hold on to in the darkness of my times, the reminder that maybe the blessing we ask for are not the blessing we need at that time... Sometimes our blessing is the realization of what has been in front of us for so long but never made its way to our blessing request box. This is dedicated to Brother David my dear friend and a man who has guided me through some of my darkest times. In my heart he will be blessed much in the afterlife for all he has done in this one. Thank you Brother David.
