Things to Be Thankful For

I have a lot to be thankful for…

Jesus... He’s all I need

Robin… a wonderful, hardworking, caring, patient partner / friend / wife.

Luke… a mind full of wonder, uniquely gifted

Jack… an artist, a big smile and a warm hug

Drew… imaginative, funny, a big heart

My dad… his humor, his goodness, for being my dad, my friend, my pastor.

All my family… my sisters, my nephews, nieces, my cousins, aunts and uncles, my family by marriage.  Each a joy to my soul.

My job... that I have one in times like these.  But even so I have a job with the freedom just to follow my heart.  Get to work with some great people who inspire me.  Get to do things I love.

Bonus Stuff… I have a warm place to sleep at night, food on my table, in good health, means of transportation, no debt (except mortgage).  And I live in Colorado with a view of the mountains off my back deck.

The opportunity to serve and give… how alive I feel when I am serving among the needy, when I am giving and not taking, being the hands & feet of Jesus.

My mom... I am thankful for who she was… for  her love, for believing in me, for challenging me, for her generous heart.  I miss her today.  Hard to believe she is not here.
