Getting ready for Thanksgiving.

Beside the food, which will be ready tomorrow, and the housecleaning, which is in progress… we were challenged by our pastor to make a list of things for which we are thankful.

It would take WAY too long to do a totally comprehensive list, but I will name a sampling:

1. My family – past, present, and future (parents, spouse, children)
2. Good friends with whom to fellowship
3. The house in which I live
4. The plethora of books I am blessed to have
5. The furniture which, while it is second-hand, provides us a place to sit, lay down, or work
6. The business that by God’s will has provided for us since we started it
7. A vehicle that gets us where we need to go
8. Nice clothes to wear
9. Plenty of good food to eat
10. A little money left over at the end of the month occasionally
