Count Your Blessings - February 8, 2011

Dear Sisters,

How many of you grew up as a child hearing that song, "Count Your Blessings" and probably still here it today being sung at church. Count your blessings name them one by one; count your blessings see what God has done!

Life passes us by so quickly each day that I quite often don't stop and take the time to count my blessings. I am so fortunate and God takes such good care of me and my family and I am so thankful for the daily blessings he gives me each day.

This song reminds me of our sisters in Haiti. No matter what continues to happen to them, they continue to praise God and count their blessings. They are such an inspiration to me as they continue to shine their lights for Christ in Haiti. This weekend the women in my church held a Prayer Service for our Haiti Sisters and took an offering to give to the Haitian Baptist Women's Health Education Project. Women from some other churches attended and some of our Haitian Sisters in Massachusetts came out to prayer with us also. It was such a blessing to be together and to life our Haitian Sisters up in prayers. Here I was praying for them but yet I feel so blessed.

As women destined for God's purpose, let us not forget that our Haitian Sisters are destined for God's purpose too and let us lift them up so they can continue to be the beacons of light that shine brightly in Haiti.

I invite your local woman's group to have a small fundraiser and be a part of our Mission Possible Challenge to raise $30,000 for the Haitian Women's Health Education Project. Donations will be accepted by AB Women's Ministries, P.O. Box 851, Valley Forge, PA.

May you continue to count your blessings as each of you are a blessing to me.

Your Sister in Christ,

Barbara
