Last November, as the Covid numbers skyrocketed, we began a blessings chain that was put up in the narthex. Every time we entered, we were greeted by these bright strips of paper that reminded us that, despite it all, we still are blessed. Counting our blessings has kept us going through our darkest times and will always move us to the future. We have retired the paper chains, but may we never forget to count our many blessings.
