March 26: Count your blessings.

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.
