Count Your Blessings
Throughout my recent two-week trip, I was able to count many blessings, especially those for which we prayed specifically.
Before starting the list, I would like to recognize the blessing of you joining me in prayer. Thank you!
• No hassles when taking food through customs.
• Health and smooth logistics during travel.
• While in Lima, the opportunity to visit and encourage missionary and former coworker in Venezuela, Jonathan Hanegan (now serving in Buenos Aires, Argentina).
• Deeper connection, spiritual conversations, and prayer time with many women in both cities.
• God spoke through me powerfully through the classes.
• God used me to inspire many women.
• The blessing of time spent with Butch and Trish Sandoval, tremendous servants in the kingdom and lifetime missionaries to South America.
• The chance to reconnect with many Bolivian Christians who are such a special part of the lives of Jeff & Katie Forbess and their family. (Katie is the IRSM Board President. She and her family were missionaries to Cochabamba for seven years.)
• Meet and encourage missionaries to Lima, Peru, Jonathan and Bani Cooper, and their son, Andrew.
• Bible study, encouragement visits in several women’s homes.
• Follow-up conversations and prayer time with women met through the area-wide event.
Other days, when I count my blessings, the list is not so glorious. Either way, when I count my blessings, the list serves as a reminder of the countless ways God has blessed my life—guided, protected, provided, and redeemed.
When I feel down or discouraged, the exercise of counting my blessings lifts my eyes, transforms my perspective, and renews my spirit.
What blessings can you count today?
