I was reminded this evening that I am a very lucky person. So often I get weighed down by worries and concerns that sometimes plague my heart as well as my mind. Right now has been a period of life that is little different. However, there still has been a lot of excitement and expectancy for what the future holds.
Putting that aside for a second, it was very nice to sit around the table with a great group of people for a special dinner and take a moment to think about how much the Lord has blessed me these last few years. It's a marvelous thing to look around a table and think, "wow, I really care about these people. I'm really blessed and very thankful that the Lord has put them in my life."
In fact, they are quite the group from all different backgrounds and I have known them for varying amounts of times, but the Lord has blessed me through them in different ways. I pray that I never take them for granted and lose sight of how much they mean. I hope I can continue to show them how much they mean. That's big.
My other hope is that all of us might continue building and lifting each other up as we pursue our relationships with the Lord, because fellowship is a big deal and vital to a healthy spiritual life.
