In Titus 1 verse 4 is says:
To Titus, my true son in our common faith:
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
It starts out with a blessing from God... I just don't know why we wait to bless people till the END of everything... The act of last rites, the benediction at the end of the service... Maybe this week we could try blessing people towards the BEGINNING of the conversation....
