I am halfway through this experiment of counting blessings - or at least trying to acknowledge more blessings in my life - and the constant is always family. If nothing else, I am constantly reminded how blessed I am to have such an incredible family around me who love me despite my many faults, who don’t mind spending time with me, who love God and are seeking to grow in their faith. I have no idea why God has chosen to bless me in such an amazing way, but I am so grateful that he did. I can’t imagine three people being any more important to me than Sandy, Colby and Calli and I can’ imagine there ever being any others that I would want to spend so much time with. I am so proud of them and so blessed to be the husband and father of this family. If that were not enough, God has given me even more blessings, beyond them! I am a very blessed man!

Blessing #463 to 490 - Time with Family is the Best!
463. Reading Claire’s “gifts” and being included in them
464. A wife who is so easy to live with, so easy to love, quick to forgive, quick to laugh, who listens to my grumbling without complaint, who keeps my life organized and frees me to be more involved than I should be. Not everyone has a spouse who makes life easier and better and few can say that marriage has been relatively, with fewer arguments than years of marriage, but I can and I am grateful. I don’t say it nearly enough, but Sandy is an incredible blessing in my life and she should be at least 500 of my 1000 blessings.
465. Leadership challenges, even when they are hurtful - they force me evaluate and re-evaluate what is important to me and reminds me of my own imperfections and weakness.
466. Frontline - a great pick-me-up after a couple of difficult days
467. The anticipation of possibilities - TheCommon.org
