Here is a partial list of things I am thankful for on this Thanksgiving week. God has been very, very good to us.
- Being right with God through his Son, Jesus
- My awesome wife Jenny
- My adorable son Brenden
- My great extended family and in-laws
- Having a meaningful job I enjoy at a great company that fits my skills/interests, pays well, and has good coworkers and benefits
- Good health and good medical care when my health needs improvement
- Irving Bible Church
- Good friends from all sorts of places, including church, work, our apartment community, school, and more
- Living in a country that allows me to worship, speak, vote, conduct business, and do so many other things freely without fear of governmental persecution
- Having thoughts, talents, and experiences to share with society
- Technology that helps people connect to each other better, including the Internet, Facebook, cell phones, texting, and email
- That the world isn’t perfect, because without challenges and growth we would all be bored out of our minds
- Clean water, electricity, paved roads, reliable transportation systems, and other daily blessings that so many people around the world still don’t have
Those are some of mine. What are you thankful for this week?
