the blessing

 The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Wondering how many of us can say we live in peace.

There is a common graciousness God bestows upon everyone the same.  The blessings of being alive on planet earth.

There is another blessing that is more uncommon, it comes to the one, not who is perfect but who stands perfectly before God because of Jesus Christ and His payment for us.....

This is how we stand in peace.

It is because of HIM and His graciousness.

And so we pass on to you today...

The Lord bless you!
