I think that we need to remember what it is we are thankful for. Many of us will be overwhelmed with the process of thanksgiving and so we forget the heart of it. It is a time to give thanks for the blessings in our lives. To remember those things, events, or people over the last year that have blessed us in ways that we don't deserve. I want to share a list some of the things I am thankful for, its not a complete list but it is a start.
I am thankful for...
- the ways in which God is providing for me and Molly this year and for the things that He has been teaching me this year. I am thankful that despite all my failings I am still His child and He has forgiven me.
- my marriage to Molly, she is such a huge encouragement to me, she is all ways encouraging me to become a better man of God.
- my friendships, Kyle, Dusty, Tre', Justin, Derek, and Cami (just to name a few). You all are such a great bunch of Brothers in the Lord and even though I don't get to see all of you (Tre' and Cami) as much as I would like you all are still huge blessings in my life. Thanks!
- my family who has been an encouragement to Molly and me all of our lives. Thank you for helping us and blessing us, as Molly and I continue to lay the foundation of our marriage. Thank you for the wisdom you share, we appreciate it even if we don't follow it. =)
Well that is all I can think of for the moment. Now what are you thankful for? I would encourage you to post a coment listing something you are thankful for.
"Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms." Psalm 95:2
