Happy Thanksgiving

Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow (James 1:17, NASB) 

I'm posting this a couple of days early because I will be out of town and may not be able to update my blog when I'm gone.

When I started this blog almost a year ago, I stated that I was going to primarily try to avoid the personal stuff. But how can you talk about thankfulness without being personal?

I am very thankful this year--perhaps even much more thankful than in previous years. What am I most thankful for? If I had to pick one thing for this year--for this time in my life, I am thankful for being married to my wife Kathy. I am thankful that we are together. Our life together is absolutely wonderful, and because of things we've gone through, we work hard to not take each other for granted. Everyday when I leave my work and head home, I drive with anticipation for seeing my wife, my love. Every moment I have with her, I consider precious.

What are you thankful for this year? What is the best gift God has given you? Click the comments link below and declare it to the whole world. And if you are thankful for someone or thankful for what someone has done for you, make sure you let that person know.
