The response to the "Blessing of the Hands" ceremony has been amazing. In fact, yesterday an entire department asked me if I would bless their hands - they hadn't been aware of what was happening. Even though it started as blessing the hands of nurses, it has already spread to other departments in the hospital.
Many people are hungry for blessing in their lives. Not the unrealistic, hyped-up "come to God and get all your desires met" - but a sincere recognition of the work they do, and asking God to bless them in that work.
Yes, I'm a Pastor and a Chaplain and people expect me to bless them. But what about you? If you're a Christ-follower, you are to be a channel of God's blessing to others.
Today, instead of a glib, "have a nice day", or even "have a blessed day", why not slow down long enough to let a fellow-worker know you appreciate what they do, and ask God to bless others through them? Yes, you'll have to be careful not to offend people, but hopefully you know your co-workers well enough to know those who would be open to God's blessing!
I pray the same for you today - that God will bless you to be a blessing to others.
