When the Lord uses the Word "Blessed" that has great and deep meaning! Sometimes, we all too frequently use the word without considering what we are saying, or the true meaning of the word. Our use of spiritual vocabulary sometimes comes short of God's ideal and God's standard. Especially the word "Blessed" seems to be open to misuse and abuse. May the Lord Bless our food today!
