A brand new A Blessed Thing.com has finally arrived! I have been working hard for the past several weeks getting the new website up and going.  Everything has changed! We have added many more products, changed our design, added a registry for those special occasions, a new blog and much more.  We are offering 20% OFF EVERYTHING until the end of the month, just use the coupon code, " ablessedthingcoupon ".  We will begin our weekly blog again with updates on products and a special message of encouragement.


I have learned something new about being blessed in the past couple of months and that is that others can be blessed because of you.  We all tend to be a little selfish about praying for God's blessings to be on us, we ask Him to bless our day, bless our family, bless our food, bless our finances, and He will do that but if you just add a little extra to your prayer by saying, " God I ask that as you bless me, you would bless others because of me."  For example, as you pray for your performance at work to be outstanding, you would receive a raise and favor, also ask that God would bless your employer as well. God will bless you but He will also bless your place of employment because of you. My husband is a handyman on the side and we go often to do various jobs but before we go we pray that God would bless the work of our hands and that our customers would be blessed as well. We were about to do a major ceramic tile job and the customers were in a hurry and about to go out of town for over a week. The tile they had ordered had just arrived the evening before they were to leave and they did not even take time to look at it. My husband said he thought it might be a good idea to go over there and lay out a few pieces just to see how they wanted it. When he got there and began to lay out the tile, it was not the tile they ordered.  You see the original plan was that we would come over after they left and lay the tile by the time they got back. They would have arrived back home with the wrong tile laid unknown to us.  You see God worked it all out for them because of us and our prayers, they were blessed and we were blessed as well.
God is so good and he loves His children so much that, surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives. AMEN!!


I am asking that as you all visit the new website,  you would go to the "Guestbook" section and leave a message for me as to what you think of the new site.


Blessings to you this week,


Stephanie
