The old song says it well, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one….”
Today I am especially aware that God is marvelously blessing me. These are only a few of a much longer list, but for these I am especially grateful today.
- I am blessed because I get to spend time with the staff and volunteers at Park Plaza–my little cubbyhole gives me workspace, and also lets me share special times with spiritual people.
I am blessed by the morning prayer time in the church offices as we unite our hearts before our God.
I am blessed to be a part of the work at Iglesia de Cristo at Park Plaza. The opportunity to study with with visitors and new converts and brothers and sisters who are hungering for the Word, and the comments received and the appreciation expressed, are a blessing.
I am blessed to work with a very special group of Christians on the board of Association Amicus in Honduras. This group of men and women has a passion for God’s work, and brings an unparalleled set of talents and insights to the work we share.
I am blessed by those who share my passion and vision for mission work. This morning I received a phone call from a sister who has “found a few shekels” and wants to help. What an encouragement and blessing!
I am blessed by my friends around the world–those who love me and encourage me and keep me going. Wow!
I am blessed because I have increased opportunity to spend time with my sons.
I am blessed by the love and spirit of Jan, my soulmate who shares the spiritual journey.
Above all, I am blessed by the unfailing love and constantly renewed mercies of the God who loves despite our failings and weaknesses.
One other thing I know today–I am blessed to be a blessing! May my life bless others as I receive the blessings of God again and again, full measure and overflowing.
