As the holiday season creeps up on us, I can't help but stop and thank God for all He has blessed me with. I was challenged the other day to list 100 things that I'm thankful for. I started to think of a few things in my head, and I stopped after a minute or two. I could definitely list 100, and I don't think it would take too long! The first thing I thought of was my family. I stopped there to ponder on this first thing on my list. Just this first "list item" transformed into so many more. God has truly blessed me over the years. Even though I far from deserve any of it, he has been very gracious in my life.
Someone also asked me if I was going to celebrate Thanksgiving or Thanksgetting. This simple play on words has been on my heart all week! I've been praying that God will smack me around a little and teach me to desire to be a giver rather than a getter....
Thank you Lord for all you have done in my life. I long to be a man after your own heart. Even though I sometimes stumble, you're always there to pick me up and send me in the right direction. Bless my family and friends this holiday season and show them that you are there for them. Not only when times are tough, but always! Amen!
I hope this blog finds all of you doing well and trusting in Jesus. Thank you all for being there for me and my family when we need a little pick-me-up.
We love you all!! Happy Thankgiving!

Well its about time you wrote something else or maybe it's about time i looked...at any rate I miss you, say hello to the family and try not to let everything fall apart now that I'm not there to do everything.
That was a beautiful prayer:)
