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.
Chris
