Every blessing You pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
And when the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say, “Blessed be the name of the Lord”

Tree63, “Blessed Be Your Name

I sat down to write an entry in my journal one morning several years ago.  As I was typing this title, a song came on the radio with the above lyrics. “Bless,” “blessing,” and “blessed” popping up all at the same time…hmmm… 

I didn’t have anything exciting planned for the day that would make me think these words were fitting.  No new car or vacation planned that would seem like a blessing.  I wasn’t even sure why I had started typing those words for the title; they just flowed out of my fingers.
