As I was flossing my teeth last night, God gave me a challenge. He wanted me (us) to speak a blessing over anything and everything that has to do with our city. This is to be done throughout the day and can be as simple as opening your Dothan Utilities bill and saying something like "Lord, Bless this city". As I made my rounds this morning, I looked around to see how this would work. Basically, anything that reminded us of our city, should remind us to say a quick blessing. So this morning, as I dropped my daughter off at school, I thought about the city school system and spoke a blessing over it. Just now as I'm typing this, a city truck turned around in our parking lot. So I said, "Lord, Bless this city". I know people meet and pray specifically for our city and that is great and very much needed. But I feel like God is giving us something that every single person that's willing can easily do. Can you imagine what this city could be like if people were constantly speaking blessings over it on a daily basis? Some things I thought of are: seeing a City of Dothan bill, mail, or correspondence, seeing City employees and/or leaders around town or on billboards, passing a city school and/or bus, seeing a police officer, etc. I'm sure there are many, many more ways that would remind us to speak a blessing over our city. Well, I've shared what God has given me. It's up to you to do your part. Hope you'll participate.
