Identify the Blessings

We had a great SPRC/Leadership meeting Monday night. I continue to learn more about you as a church and you are learning more about me. As we continue to try and find some common ground in order to provide a stronger structure for ministry, I was reminded of something regarding our journey together: identify the blessings.

Lots of good ministry is happening at Emmanuel. The rich history in combination with faithful servants provides great starting points for catapulting into the future. Thank goodness we are not starting from scratch, but have integral ministries to build upon.

We should not dwell on the past, but we must learn from the past. This includes looking at what has worked and worked well. I’m not one that fixes something that is not broken, though I have been known to try and tweak here and there.

In the midst of our transition together, let us not forget to identify the blessings and celebrate the goodness of God. It is in such blessings that goodness flows.
