January 2015
"Count your blessings, name them one by one.
Count your blessings, see what God has done."
...
The New Years Eve celebration seems like ancient history as I type today. January 2015 is just about over and I find myself reflecting upon the first month of 2015 as I look at my monthly calendar/planner and I praise God!
...
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
...
I was blessed to be able to start out the New Year surrounded by friends and family at my in-laws home in Metairie, La.
...
I was blessed with the chance to reconnect with an old friend I found via LinkedIn and I look forward to catching up with him in the weeks to come.
...
I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a conference with a mentor and friend to hear John Maxwell and Nick Vujicic speak about personal growth and fulfilling ones God given purpose.
...
I was blessed with the chance to listen to and pray with a woman from church whose adult daughter and son-in-law have moved in with her as the daughter grapples with addiction issues.

I was blessed by the time spent with Tammy as we watched American Sniper and I was reminded of the challenges faced by thousands of veterans as they work through their PTSD issues.
...
I was blessed with the opportunity to start and lead a new small group at FCC in a study of the book Ecclesiastes.
...
I was blessed by a friend who trusted me enough to share with me that her college aged daughter was recently raped and how she was so frustrated and angry.
...
I was blessed with a wonderfully cool, clear, and sunny Saturday that I spent with Tammy riding along 30A enjoying a small slice of Gods creation.
...
I was blessed on multiple occasions by sharing a meal with Tammy and friends while talking about life and family.
...
I was blessed by several visits with my parents who are living out their marriage vows in a very beautiful way.
...
I was blessed by the time Tammy and I were able to spend with several of our nieces and nephews as we continue to watch them grow and mature.
...
You may notice a trend in my comments about January 2015 and I do sincerely mean it when I call each instance a blessing. The few blessings I listed above do not even scratch the surface of how blessed I am and I praise my God for each and every one. I also continue my prayer for wisdom, strength and courage to find ways to bless others.
...
Grace & Peace
