Hello, there are NO blessers in this country!

Not so long ago the word blessed, along with all its derivatives, had only one sacred meaning. Not entirely so these days because now the word has taken a whole new meaning.

For believers, the word is synonymous with a blessed life in terms of a loving marriage, obedient intelligent children, a vibrant ministry, a healthy body, a successful career, trusted friends and financial abundance. All these are characteristics of a blessed life, and having all of them usually translates into an extraordinarily blessed life.

Furthermore, and this isn’t me in a religious trance, scriptures show that a blessing is anything God gives that makes us FULLY satisfied in him, that which draws us closer to Him. Anything that helps us relinquish the temporal and hold on more tightly to the eternal. And often it is the struggles and trials, the aching disappointments and the unfulfilled longings that best enable us to do that. That is the true meaning of blessed and until recently, it was the only legitimate meaning.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
