Reflection: Easter

Recently, my pastor challenged us all to make a list of our blessings, and use that list to guide our prayers.  Here's my list.

Family
- My wife Jen is the most patient, loving, loyal, and understanding person I know.  I'm blessed by her character in my life.
- My son, Corbin Joseph, will be born in the next few months
- My family is just a phone call away, and visiting them is only a short drive

Friendship
  - Stacy is an insightful and wise friend full of integrity
- Nate is a friend and discerning leader full of integrity and purpose

Health
- I can walk freely 
- Healthcare for my wife and child through work
- My family has a dental and vision plan

Faith
- A growing journey of prayer and study
- I am living in a country where I can express my faith freely

Career
- I have a good paying, consistent job
- My job is one that stretches me to grow in skills I will need for ministry

Finances
- We make more than we need, and can give and save

Skills
- I know how to love people, particularly young people, well
- I can sing
- I am a problem solver


What's your list?

Happy Easter

John 20:1 "Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance."
