Count Your Blessings

Dear Friends,

It’s is interesting how things come around. When I was a child, I sang this song:

Count your blessings, name them one by one
Count your blessings, see what God has done

Over the last few years, I have started to consciously look for God’s blessings. I’ve written about it and prayed that my eyes would be open. I can’t count what I can’t see… A trip to Santa Cruz beaches and a porpoise sighting; Blessing! A student testimony at chapel; Blessing! A job interview; Blessing! A first grader greets me, “Hi Mr. President!” Blessing!

I’m seeing more and more blessings and have come to realize that they have been there all along. I just haven’t been looking. I think that I finally understand what it means to count my blessings and see what God has done.

It has changed my life.

Thanksgiving is a time to count your blessings. I strongly recommend it; you will be blessed!
