Bob asks an important question in the post below concerning thankfulness and the truth is, we all have much to be thankful for. Soooooo . . . . where do I start?
My mom has been through and difficult year and more and we are thankful that this Thanksgiving, Thelma (that's the title the two parents gave her) is much stronger, alert and active than she was early last spring. (Did you notice I strung 10 words in a row that begin with 'T'? Just checking.)
We have two great kids and this summer added a son-in-law to the mix. We thank God for them all.
I'm more in love with my bride than ever before and it's glorious!
We go to a church where the pastor preaches the Sovereign God of Heaven, the beauty of His Word and the grace He imparts to His people.
Some of the folks from our church went with our family to distribute Thanksgiving meals to convenience store clerks who had to work on Thanksgiving. The stores are located near our church and I can say the employees were happy to get the food, but I am thankful for the happiness in my heart as a result of being a part of that effort.
We had international students in our house Friday night before Thanksgiving and it causes me to be thankful for my homeland. I don't say this with any sort of arrogance, for those students in our house all missed their homes and didn't find that America held any place for them above their native land. I think we all were perfectly happy with and thankful for our homes.
More could be said, but I think the point is made, we are blessed people.
Oh, and Iced Mochas. I am thankful for Iced Mochas.
