Keith Wiginton, at the First Baptist Church in Altus, Oklahoma: He simply said that sometimes, when some people

depart the congregation, they are a “Blessed Subtraction.”

He was referring to the drama-filled people in a congregation who stir up trouble at every turn.

With today’s focus on mental health, it’s the same for those people in our lives who create unhealthy relationships. The sad reality is that sometimes you don’t realize how toxic someone is until they aren’t there anymore. After they leave, you can feel a calmness in the atmosphere. That is how you know that the person leaving was indeed a “Blessed Subtraction.” And it is truly a gift.
