We have the Peace of God within us. This is the blessing we extend. When we know we have something, we have it to give. But when we give something away, the ego thinks we have less of it. The Holy Spirit's Thought System knows when we give something valuable away, like Peace, we have more of it. It increases by giving it away. In fact, all that we give away becomes a blessing to ourselves and others. Lesson #187 is the answer for any trying person or situation we may encounter in life. Giving yourself a blessing of Peace extends Peace to others, even if they do not receive it right away. The Holy Spirit is in charge of their reception. We are in charge of giving the blessing to ourselves first.
