The Sign of God's Blessing

Whew! We made it! Today around 6:00 PM EST, we finished bagging the last of our season's kettle income. Everyone is still living and we passed last year's total income 2 days ago! And last year was a banner year, raising more than we ever have. We are so blessed by God!

When I write that and begin to think about it, I cringe a bit, wondering if that's really what God's blessing is about. Sure, God promises prosperity to his own, but I would trade it all in (in a heart-beat) for the blessing of bringing people into His kingdom.

I seem to recall that in the early church, the sign of God's blessing was adding and multiplying people daily . . . and miracles.
