Thankful for ...

This year I am thankful for many things ...

... Salvation
... Family and being with my kids and grandkids
... Friends, who I can count on
... My health, my recent back troubles have not been enjoyable but I am still able to do all my normal duties and I realize there are many people around me who are really suffering, my problems are minor in comparison
... My amazing wife, we celebrated 34 years of marriage in August
... Being a pastor, there are days that I am not so sure, but I know this is what I am called to and rejoice in the privilege to preach God's Word and share in so many people's lives
... My heritage, Christian parents, grandparents, great grandparents and uncles and aunts
... Coaching an amazing group of girls in volleyball
... The daily presence of God
... The opportunities all around me to show God's love to people
... Sleeping in a warm house with more than enough food
... There are many more things I could list, but it is after midnight and I will be making pancakes for the grandkids in a few short hours so I am off to bed. I am thankful for my comfortable bed as well
