A hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee while visiting with a friend…
A day on the lake whether the fish are biting or not…
The growth I’ve experienced through hardship and trials…
A clear, bubbling mountain stream on a crisp summer morning…
Living in a nation where we enjoy prosperity and freedom…
A God who loves me enough to let His Son die in my place to pay for my sins…
My family: a beautiful, godly wife, three wonderful daughters, three sons-in-law and seven grandchildren…
My baptism…
Sitting on my back porch watching the beauty of God’s creation…
The chance to receive the Lord’s Supper, sharing in the death of Jesus and fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ…
A home and possessions that far exceed my needs…
Working in my yard…
Christian friends…
All the wonderful parts of this country and around the world that I’ve been able to visit…
The opportunity to have been a minister of the Good News of Jesus Christ …
You’ve all heard the admonition to count your blessings. I’ve shared a small part of my list with you here. However, the thing that stands out above everything else is a cross and an empty tomb. That is what puts all my blessings into proper perspective.
“Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever.” Psalm 118:1
