Maybe next Friday I'll share with you the parable of the hand. Those of you who have known Steve or I for very long at all have probably heard it more than once. Today, I'm just going to use the concepts to help us do something.

What about a list? Well, last Friday, I put out the 100 SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS CHALLENGE. I encouraged YOU, my readers, to talk with your families about this and come up with your own list of Spiritual Blessings in Christ. Then, add them on to the comments of last Friday's post. Sisters, shame on us! We certainly can think of more that 18 spiritual blessings! Please join me this weekend in getting the list to 100.
.
Ask for help! You husband, children, friends... and link up here to add them now or sometime in the next few days! May you be overly encouraged by the list!
