A Time For Thanks

This is the one holiday where the question of, "What are you thankful for?" comes up the most often.  It's because it is Thanksgiving, you say.  True, but shouldn't we be asking ourselves and those with whom we work, play, love, and live this question more often?  It is good for the soul to be mindful of the many things God has graced us with.  Sure we may have struggled financially, or maybe we didn't get that job promotion, but if we just stop and ponder, really be still and think...we have much to be thankful for.  We live in a country that still allows us the freedom to choose where we live, what career we want, what we buy, and where we worship.  We are a blessed nation!

I am thankful for a beautiful and loving wife that loves this imperfect man.  I am thankful for an intelligent and talented son that loves his mother and father.  I am thankful for my friends and coworkers who challenge me to "go further".  I am thankful for loving and supporting parents, in-laws and grandmother.  Lastly, I am thankful for my salvation that comes through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

For what are you thankful?  Leave your reply below.

Berm Improvements!

Last week you may have noticed it was a little inconvenient getting in and out our subdivision Friday...we had a lot of work going on!  With the recent improvement over e summer with new lights and irrigation system at the front entrance, it was noted that the greenery on the berms were blocking the lights from properly reaching the signs and needed more frequent trimming.  The board recently approved a makeover for the berms that would allow for an easier maintained area.  Our landscapers planted  3 Dwarf Buford Holly bushes and 5 Blanket Roses per berm.  It looks great!  The next time you leave our subdivision, pause and take a look at their handiwork...I think you'll like what you see!
