Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. The day is not a celebration of someone's birthday, or an honor to some great person of history. Thanksgiving is a day that was originally set aside by our nation's first president (George Washington). The day was designated as a day to thank God for His blessings and provision.
I am thankful for my wife. Kim is a precious gift that God has given me. And I thank the Lord that she is so wonderful. I love being married to Kim! And I am also thankful that she loves being married to me!
I am thankful for my 4 children: Rebecca who is growing into a compassionate young lady, Jacob who is turning bold for the Lord at age 8, Allison who is very loving, and Andrew who is excited about life (at age one).
I am also thankful for my church family. It is within this context that I enjoy a great job and wonderful friendships. I also love sharing the vision to reach out to people who have not yet met Jesus, and share the Hope that God can offer. Thanks to all my friends at HRC who live to "Develop Passionate Followers of Jesus Christ."
I am also thankful for my extended family. I have great parents, a wonderful sister, great in-laws, and a few non-blood relatives...
I am thankful for the following blessings: health, my home, financial provision, peace, hope, my (eternal) future, my opportunities to impact my community, and much much more.
Let me encourage all who read this blog to take some time to reflect on what you are thankful for. Feel free to do so in reply to this blog... because I would love to red it!

I am thankful for a Job. I am thankful for friends and family that I have. I am thankful for my fiancée. I am thankful that GOD has blessed my life with many wonderful people in my life. In All I am thankful that god had provided this job mostly because I was laid off last year around this time and was able to find a job that is secure despite the economic times we face today. I pray for those people that may not have the same. I do say that God makes his calling known and I found when I lost my job that god may be using it as a real blessing in disguise to teach you lesions you may have not known before and to rise up and follow him more. After my job loss I have found myself reflecting more and trying to follow what he wants from me.
