I was thinking about all the dear friends and people God has place around me, and some "sub-blessings" or better yet, specific ways God has used people to challenge and encourage my faith. It speaks so clearly to me of a body of Christ--not a church with a building, but the body that is being built and the body that God knows and sees. Some are harder to put words to, but I'll do my best.
There is my Lily, with her trust that God is taking care of things.
Wilson, who holds and speaks so clearly the truth and reminders we need.
Ardith, with her quiet and gentle spirit
Wheeler, an ever loyal friend
Jenny, always ready with a smile and thinking so little of herself.
Lisl, who has a passion and wants the best.
Andrea, who is committed in prayer, who serves so quietly and unselfishly
Amanda, who is always giving and always encouraging.
Adam, steady and strong
Josh, who leads and organizes things
Eric and Becky who raise their children in the knowledge of Christ
as did my own parents
My older bro who is ever looking out for those around him.
Holly, who isn't afraid to speak out her faith and genuinely cares
Kelly, another who speaks the truth and who strives to constructively build the faiths of her friends
Cara, for her innocence and purity, the wonder flower
Sunny, with a chaste relationship, thoughtful, provoking, sensible
Gallagher, ever ready with the car to drive and who seeks first for the comfort of others
Moore, so cheerful
Taylor, who made the step of faith and has the passion to reach out to the forgotten and shunned
Heather, who encourages through prayer, who seeks for the best
Bri, who helps out and reaches out to a friend in need, working for the best
Grace, serving and giving, encouraging, caring
