Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado
This is a blog of thanksgiving. Today marks the 365th blog. That's right we've come to the end of the first year of Praying with the Eyes. I have never done anything like this. So, as I reflect on this past year, I must give thanks.
First, I give thanks to God. "The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him." Psalm 28:7 English Standard Version
There were times that I wasn't sure I had the energy to write another blog. At times the only thing that kept me going was my commitment to write 365 blogs. For me this has been a God sized adventure and I give thanks to him for seeing me through this journey.
Second, I give thanks to you. "I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus." 1 Corinthians 1:4 New International Version
I don't know a great deal of details about those of you read this blog but I do know that slightly over 100 people read this blog each day. That's a total of over 37,000 page views this year. That blows me away. I thank God for your faithfulness and pray that these devotions have been a blessing to you and will continue to be a blessing.
As for the future, I will continue to write new blogs but intermix them with old ones. If this blog has been helpful to you, please continue to invite others to join in reading it. I don't receive a dime from any of these blogs. I'm privileged, as a pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, to write these blogs as a commitment to being a faithful shepherd of the Good Shepherd.
By the way, I think this picture of the Garden of the Gods is my leading candidate for next year's youth auction.
To God be the Glory.
