Blessings

While sitting in my room attempting to do homework, I got distracted watching my roommate. Abby was across the room from me, sitting on the floor with her knees drawn up to be used as a stand for her book. Her eyebrows were wrinkled in concentration while she read Pilgrim's Progress. As I watched her, the Lord brought to mind all the people that have influenced my life. Abby is definitely one of them. Not only does she live in the same room as me, but she takes an interest in how I'm doing, challenges me spiritually, and encourages me to grow.
Abby is one of many. Friends, family members, coworkers, bosses, pastors, teachers, professors, they've all been used by God to shape who I am today. I don't deserve any of them. I don't know why the Lord decides to bless me with such support, but I know that I'm extremely grateful.
If you've had an impact on my life, I want to say thank you. I may never get a chance to repay you, but I'm praying for you. And I pray that I may pass on the blessing to someone else.
