I’m sitting here on the couch watching the tail end of the local news. Everyone in the house is asleep. I’m about to pack up the laptop and spend a few minutes reading before I head off to bed. As I sit here I am just taking a moment to reflect on my day. I am one blessed dude. Here are five blessing that I am thankful for right now:
- My Family. We had some family photos taken over the weekend. Hewson celebrates his first birthday next week so we had a few pics taken to commemorate this season of our little family. I have a beautiful, loving, kind, and compassionate wife. I have a beautiful son as well. Life is God and God has blessed me beyond my wildest imagination.
- My Students. Some people like their jobs. I love my job as a youth minister!!! Tonight we had Bible study at the house and we shared a meal together. There is nothing better than scripture and steak.
- The Gospel. I know that Jesus Christ is Lord of All. I know that God sent His Son to destroy sin and death. I know that Jesus was raised to life by the power of the Holy Spirit. I know that The Holy Spirit lives in me and helps me in all that I do.Have you ever stopped to give thanks that you too know the Gospel?
- Health. I am healthy and my family is healthy. I am always thankful for this. Of course, even if sickness does strike us we will still be blessed. For now, we give thanks for the good health that we have.
- Opportunities. God, thank you for the opportunities you have placed before me. Each day brings new opportunities and each season brings great choices. As summer approaches I pray that you will help me make the most of every opportunity afforded to me and our ministry.
What blessings are you thankful for right now?
