I Am a Child of God - verse 3

Do you know what a blessing is?

Are blessings only big miraculous events? No

No matter how big or small, a blessing is anything that is good.

Let’s sing the third verse.

I am a child of God

Rich blessings are in store

if I but learn to do his will

I''ll live with him once more.

What is a rich blessing?

Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, and in the Sermon on the Mount he taught the Beatitudes.

The beatitudes teach us how do his will and to recieve those rich blessings.
