1...2...3... :-p There are just so many! Where to begin?
Blessings are very much like the things for which I'm thankful, although, I notice that some things I count as blessings were at times difficult. I'm not sure I was thankful for them at the time they occurred or were encountered. Interesting.


In no particular order, and certainly not exhaustive: life, breath, love, Tom, our girlies, education, wildlife in my yard, Mom & Dad, my sibs, sight, the ability to touch and feel, folks who've blessed me, folks who've challenged me, Covenant S'field, colleagues (current & former), facebook friends, the ability to drive, travel, the places I've visited, Tom's mom, sibs and families, music to listen to, ability to read music and play (loosely), singing, whistling, warm house, a home, the crazy technology I use and enjoy, food to eat, the connectional church-lots of great folks, the Bible, facebook, happiness, birdsong, the schools I've attended, the river, island living, electricity, a body that still (mostly) works, health, our critters (blessing & bane), ;-) Sunrise, Covenant (ICT), Chester, Peace, Mt Washington, Ampthill, Allen Park, grace, Jim & Jane, Joe, Dr Ballinger, the ability to read, Mrs. Taylor, Twila, Marty & Darryl, Sam, Beth, Ann, Megan, youth and youth groups (they've taught me so much and kept me young <mostly>), camps, my mind (what there is of it!), faith, time, Mary Ann, Sharon, running water, clean water, Rise Against Hunger, interim training, Beth, Mitch, Bill, Nancy, Lawrence...

I could go on and on I think. So many things have been and are a blessing to me. And if you've read this far, bless you!
​And of course, the God who made all these things possible. Thank you, Lord, for blessing me far more than I deserve. Amen.

    I'm a wife, mom, pastor, human...probably not in that order.  I struggle each day to be faithful to God, to my family and to my call as  a Christian and all of those previously-mentioned roles.  I pray to be positive, kind and thoughtful, but tend to fall short on all counts.  I am inspired by sunrises and enjoy taking pictures (mostly my kids, deer in the yard and sunrises).  I waste time playing stupid computer games and wishing I'd been better at all of the aforementioned roles. ;-)
