Thanksgiving

Well, it has been two months since I last blogged, and I figured to day would be a good day to do so. I have much to be thankful for, and often I don't take the time to remind myself of those things.

First of all, I am thankful for Jesus. He has done saving work in my life and has blessed me in more ways than I can even recognize. He allows me access to God.

Second, I am very thankful for my wife. She is indeed my better half. Those many times when I am down, she lights my life. Just looking at her makes me thankful. I am thankful for the "child that will be" growing in my wife. Even though I am afraid, I am still thankful.

Third, I am thankful for a home and work. There are times when jealousy or covetousness comes in - I want a bigger house, I want a better job, or a faster car... but I am thankful. Being thankful means you have to be content. I am thankful for Family and friends. Without the prayer and guidance of my parents I wouldn't be here today.

I am also thankful for my cats - Bunny and Nox. I think they help me de-stress. I think they will help me be a better father. I am thankful for my country. I am thankful for the people who make it great. I am thankful that I can be who I am and believe what I believe without being arrested for it.

I'll finish by encouraging you to remember those things you're thankful for. I often forget to be thankful for those things dearest to me.
