I’ll be taking some time away from the office this week to enjoy friends and family. So, this is THE blog for this week. Feel free to add what you’re thankful for in the comment section below.

Here’s a few of the things I truly feel grateful for this Thanksgiving Season:

I’m thankful for a God that is loving, forgiving, abundant with His grace and eternally patient with me.

I’m thankful for my wife, Michelle and our two daughters, Sam and Megan.

I’m thankful for our extended family on both sides. We are truly blessed with some great “in-laws & outlaws”!

I’m thankful for Community. This church and the amazing people who ARE this church are a constant source of blessing and encouragement to me.

I’m also thankful to live in this Valley of ours. Spending time in the hills and mountains above it makes me appreciate it even more. We live in a pretty special place. Yes, we’ve got work to do, but I’m thankful that God has placed me here to be a part of it.

OK. That’s just a partial list. If you want to add to it, do so in the comment section below. (If you’re reading this in your email, please click on the title and make your comments on the blog itself so we all can see them.)

Hope you and yours have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
