The greatest service I can offer is...a blessing

Hello dear BWW friends. I was doing some reading this morning and came across this. I love the message it conveys and wanted to share it with all of you. It's truly something to think about.

Bless difficult people! Those people who truly get on your nerves. Those who seem to be totally unaware that what they do has an impact on others. The people who have no qualms about demonstrating in word or deed that they do not want to be where they are, doing what they are doing. People who pout or mope while they are working. People who speak harshly, roll their eyes, suck their teeth or show up late without explanation. Be willing to see difficult people in a new way. Don't be so quick to believe that their behavior has anything to do with you. Take the high road. Bless them!

When you bless difficult people, do it silently. Do it in your heart. Some people forget their divinity. Others never know it because no one has told them they have it. Others will cleverly disguise their divinity with nasty dispositions, bad attitudes or indifference to those around them. The greatest service you can offer to God, yourself and the energy of the universe is a blessing. For all you know, your blessing may be exactly what a s difficult person needs to open their heart and renew their faith in who they are and encourage them in what they are doing. Bless difficult people because there may come a day when you are having a difficult time and will need to be blessed by someone else.

You may have been sucked into letting difficult people create difficulty for you. Today, open your heart to difficult people. Bless them! Don't expect them to change. Instead, change your perspective about who they are and how you can save them.
