If you would like to join us in sharing our blessings, or even if you just want to read up on some other people's blessings (which is a blessing in itself), head on over to Marci's blog "Down On The Farm" to link up.
Today I'm counting the blessing of my Handy Hubby's job. He has dreamed of having his own coffee shop for as long as I can remember. Having the gift of a trained pallet is one that not many have. I have discovered that there are others in his family that share the gift, but perhaps they are not coffee connoisseurs specifically.
My hubby is a veteran of the United States Army. When he married me he left that life and pursued an education. He has such a strong interest in History that he graduated with honors and a bachelors degree in secondary education. He dabbled in construction for a spell and then followed a calling to seminary where he studied Youth Ministry. Those teenagers are so up his alley! He loves them! A semester or so shy of his master's degree we found ourselves heading in yet another direction. At the present, he has settled at Starbucks.
Did you ever have a job that you just clicked right into? Just felt right at home the minute it started. Have you ever had a job that you could really see yourself doing for years and years to come? Starbucks is that for him. He quickly moved from Barista I to Barista II to Coffee Master to Supervisor. He is embarking upon training to become an assistant manager and aspires to manage his own store one day.
Of course, we are always at the mercy of the Lord as far as our direction. It can change it in a moments notice. We realize that each area of his past employment has been a step along the path of the Lord's perfect plan for us. We are delighted to relish the moments of such moves, but today I am grateful to experience the blessing of his current employment.

Jenny, that is really neat. I had no idea they had those levels at Starbucks. I think it would be wonderful if he meets his goal. Thanks for sharing.
