Happy 500th Birthday, John Calvin!
However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.
All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.
It behooves us to accomplish what God requires of us, even when we are in the greatest despair respecting the results.
Cor Deum Tibi Offero Domine, Prompte et Sincere.

I just had a depressing thought in light of our current financial mess in the U.S. and in light of Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme. If you really look at God's blessings to us as deposits many of us are worse crooks than Madoff -- keeping blessings for ourselves, squandering others, and returning little to our Investor. If anything, you wonder isn't it God who should be in the greatest despair respecting results and not us? (Since it's His blessings that we squander, not our own.)

why oh why of Wyoming are you burying this great thought in a comment on an old post? It deserves a blog entry of its own.
*sigh* I have to teach you how to do these things.
