Thanksgiving is coming up. And as an exercise in encouragement and focus, I thought I would reflect on just a few of the things I am thankful for.
- Father God-He loves me, reaches out to me, forgives me, guides me, blesses me, and has secured my future. Wow!
- My wife-I don't know where I would be without her encouragement, support, insight, love, etc. Not to mention being an awesome mom to our kids. I'm thankful that she has the gift of helps and mercy and reaches out.
- My kids-Even though they take a lot of work, it is so worth it. It is fun to see them grow and learn. It is neat to be able to watch the world through their eyes and to teach them. They are so precious to me.
- BCBC-no church is perfect, but I have rarely seen a church with more to be thankful for. A group of Godly men in leadership that are wise and mature. That is an all-too-rare commodity in the New England Church. Then we have an equally awesome group of ladies who also have great wisdom and maturity. These groups together form an incredible foundation of stability for our church and a great team to work with. There will always be challenges and things that could be better, but I am glad of the people I face those challenges with.
- Maine-Isn't this just the most beautiful state with such an awesome and unique people? I am proud to call myself a life-long Mainer.
Well, that isn't an exhaustive list, but it will have to do for now. Hope you have many things to focus on and be thankful for. It is a good and Biblical exercise that will lift your heart.
