Wow number 60. Hard to believe I’ve been doing this for over a year now.

(3) An apology from one of my Confirmation kids. Very sweet!!

(4) Receiving my first #fmfpartysnailmail.

(5) A friend gifting me a small gift; a cool scrapbooking app

(6) Voxing with more of my #write31 and #fmf friends!

(7) The FMF Twitter party. I look forward to Thursday nights even more now.

(8) My friend JN’s consecration as a Diaconal Minister in the ELCA! Wish I could be there with her but I am definitely there in Spirit. So proud and glad that her prayers have finally been answered!

(9) Receiving an awesome package in the mail; a DLC Christmas ornament. Thanks Paula! I love it!!!

(10) Going to grab something at church and finding a Christmas gift in my office. A fun surprise!

(11) Riding with my friend Beth to Williston.

(12) Being at a new friends Diaconal installation and getting to be a part of the service.

And as I type this I am reminded that it is the two year Anniversary of Sandy Hook, so in the midst of my blessings, I am taking time to pray for those Sandy Hook families especially those who lost children that day.

“Christ be our light..shine in the darkness.”

  1. Wonderful list, and a great reminder to pray for the Sandy Hook families. Have a great day Tara. Oh, and FMF is one thing I am also very grateful for, even if I hardly ever make it on Thursday nights anymore, it is such a wonderful group.

    • Laura, I didnt get it from Ann Voskamp. Actually from a pastor I worked with. He told a story about someone who started a blessings journal. It gave me the idea to blog it every week.

  2. Love that you listed out your blessings…I have been doing a Sunday Reflections since November; but I may have to start a Count Your Blessings post for the New Year! I started writing my blessings down in a little notebook back in 2010 – after I lost my job, I had sooooo many blessings, I wanted to be sure I counted them, and remembered those who blessed me! I stopped keeping up with it about 2 or 3 years after starting it. Thank you for sharing your list! May you continue to be blessed!

    • Barbara, thank you. I love listing them out because they remind me how blessed I am. I know you understand that as you started your own little notebook. May you continue to be blessed too!
