Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading this podcast. I believe God has amazing

things in your future. I hope you enjoy this message.

The other day my son did something so nice for me. It was really special. He went out of his way

0:24.2

and took his time to really make me feel good. I was so appreciative of what he did. I called him up

0:32.9

and I said, Jonathan, thank you so much for what you've done for me. I began to gush. He said,

0:39.2

Mom, I did it because I knew you'd like it and I wanted to make you happy. He said, Mom, thanks

0:45.2

for all you do for me. As a parent, I was taken aback. I thought that's amazing. His generosity and

I not only praise you and I thank you, but I'm going to take you to step further God and I'm going

1:56.2

to show you my thankfulness by my expression and my actions. You see, there's nothing closer to the

2:05.1

heart of God than His children doing something for someone else. You see, we were put on this earth

2:12.2

to not only be the praise to God's glory, but to be His hands, to be His feet, to be His kindness,

2:19.7

to be His compassion. The Bible clearly states that we are blessed to be a blessing. We are blessed

2:30.2

by Almighty God so that we can go out and express our blessings through our actions, not just through

2:38.6

our words. I'm not talking today about just material blessings. Yes, God wants you to have more
