BLESSINGS:

Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessingsin heavenly places in Christ:
The word �blessing� comes from the Greek word eulogia� the word that eulogy is derived from. It refers to being blessed by the Word of God and the results of the Word of God.
Blessings: G2129. eulogia, yoo-log-ee'-ah; from the same as G2127; fine speaking, i.e. elegance of language; commendation ("eulogy"), i.e. (reverentially) adoration; religiously, benediction; by impl. consecration; by extens. benefit or largess:--blessing (a matter of) bounty (X -tifully), fair speech.
Spiritual is from the Greek word pneumatikos and is a root word for many words we use today� like a jack hammer, like the Spirit, like a mighty wind, a forceful stream of air. Everything that relates to it has some substance of mighty power.
Spiritual: G4152. pneumatikos, pnyoo-mat-ik-os'; from G4151; non-carnal, i.e. (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross), or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concr.), or (divinely) supernatural, regenerate, religious:--spiritual. Comp. G5591.
There is still a lot to learn on this subject. It seems that everyday there is a new twist or angle that I see from this scripture� and many others!
Memory verse for today:
Psalms 126:5 - 6 (KJV) They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
Ulterior thought:
The distance between critical and hypocritical is mini-microns; Generally they are found in the same shoes!
