I too am thankful:
• Thankful to my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, for loving me/us so much that He bore incredible pain & torture for shame that wasn’t His, yet He bore it to pay our/my debt of sin & fallen-ness.
• Thankful to live in a country so intelligently designed that it is (so far) withstanding a savage assault upon its founding/guiding principles.
• Thankful for a family, wife & children who also follow after Christ and make me proud to lead them.
• Thankful for a reasoning mind that is able to make sense of what I see and discern the wheat from the chaffe.
• Thankful for online and offline friends, especially those (all y’all) of a similar mindset…without like-minded individuals to bounce things off…I’d certainly think I had gone insane.
• And, I’m thankful for the ability to move aside the cares of this world and actually be thankful. This will all pass away and, when it does, it’s our preparation for eternity that will matter.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I wish the best for you this Thanksgiving.
Now go ye all forth...and eat pie!
