was vacationing in New Orleans staying on
the 41st floor in a hotel, when I was looking out the
window one day at a traffic jam. I could see a car broke down in one
of the lanes. The traffic was bad and people was changing into the
lane where the broken down car was stalled. I have a better view
than they did and could have directed them but they could not communicate

difficulties we have from time to time He can give us clear directions,
He is not like me we can hear Him if we would only listen.
He can bless our lives if we would only listen to His directions.
Bless or Blessing means “to be bless is to make happy, or to
pray for the happiness of someone, or to guard and protect, or to
glorify. The
