I was driving in this morning thinking about how tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I wanted to write down what I am thankful for. I prayed a prayer of thanksgiving on my drive to work, but it didn’t seem like it was enough. So, I thought I would write something that I could share with my family at the Thanksgiving Day feast. Things that I am thankful for…
- A wife that is my best friend and who makes me laugh (cotton)
- A son who calls me “daddy” and plays soccer, I love watching him play
- My son’s new girlfriend who makes him laugh
- A daughter who likes to eat ice cream in bed and watch TV
- A mom who loves liver and onions and watches NCIS
- A sister who always sends me ecards and cooks the best chili in the world
- A brother who has always been my hero
- A sister-in-law who takes vacations with us and loves red wine
- A niece who is a great runner and sends me text messages
- Another niece who makes the “uncle Jon Jon face” and loves snacks
- Friends who check in on me once in a while
- A God who never gives up on me
The above list is not super spiritual, but being thankful for the small things seems to be where I am at this point in my life. Someone once told me that “God is most glorified when we are most satisfied.” Hoping that this blog finds you thanking God for the small things.
