One of the songs I remember singing in church growing up was “Count Your Blessings.”  The words of the chorus reminded me to count my blessings and name them one by one. I must confess to you that occasionally after singing that song I would use the rest of the service to list out as many of the “blessings” I could count and not listen to much of what was being preached. (Please forgive me dad J)!  November encourages us to give thanks. I would like to take a few moments to count my blessings and thank some very important people in my Katy Fellowship family!

• First to my wife who serves beside me with incredible love and patience. She has loved and raised our children as well as loved and taught our KCF kids faithfully.
• Tara and Trey are precious gifts to Polly and me. They have both worked in the ministry by serving, not because they had to, but because they wanted to.
• The KCF staff of Marcus, Chris, Priscilla, Marla, Stacey, Gayle and Tammy.   All gifted with a heart to love, encourage and serve.
• Our leadership team made up of the elders and trustees with their wives, and some key servants who seek God’s wisdom to lead Katy Fellowship to be the church God’s called us to be.
• The Student Ministry, Promiseland and nursery teams who wear the iTeach, iServe, and iRock shirts with conviction and purpose. Each of you have already and will continue to impact this young generation in great ways!
• Our adult and student worship teams who give of their time and talents to lead us to God’s throne in praise and worship.
• Our wonderful volunteers who work so faithfully and tirelessly to set up, tear down, greet, make events happen, mail, copy, compute and maintain our website, etc. etc. etc. You all make a difference!
• The LIFE group leaders, facilitators, hosts and hostesses. Each are so appreciated and necessary.
• Our Incense intercessors who continually keep KCF bathed in prayer.
• The community of HELPERS who make up Katy Fellowship. You listen, encourage, love, pray, equip, reach, serve as well as attend and financially support your church. You are loved!
• And finally, but most importantly to our GOD from whom all blessings come. As the song goes, count your many blessings see what God has done! You have done so much. Thank You!

Praying for You,

Tim
