Okay, a week from tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Let me ask you "What are you thankful for that has happened this year?
For me I've got to experience several memorable moments. Another wedding anniversary (27th) with Keri (although I was in Mexico at the time) my youngest getting married, my middle son and his wife having a baby (our first grandson) and my oldest moving out of the house and into his own apartment. I am also thankful for the best neighbors a family could have living across the street. The Looney's are a wonderful couple and Keri and I are excited for them as they anticipate the birth of Jack, their first of many babies. :)
There are other things that have happened this year that have not been so fond like the passing of my friend Kevin Wolfgong and the recent passing of Vickie Ericksen. In incidents such as these it is difficult to be thankful but the bible says we are to do so anyway.
So how about you? Has this year been a blessing to you? If so, how?
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:4-7 (NIV)

I'm thankful for my time spent at college, the friendships I've made and kept for not just the past year, but in all previous years, as well as recently getting high-speed Internet. I'm also thankful that Christmas is coming soon, and that's always a good time. I've already got my list made, and it's nearly a page long. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! :)
You stole mine! I liked the part about "first of many", but I don't think Kate did...
Maybe she will warm up to the idea over time.
Is there some kind of line item veto equivalent in blogging so I can erase the "first of many" lines from your blog Roger?? I've already told Bob we are NOT buying a Ford Expedition and there will NOT be a little Looney bum in each of its seats.
No need to get the Ford Expedition. I'm sure our church van will accommodate all the little Looney bums. ;)
I'm thankful that you answered the church phone early one Sunday last December. Because of that, God has led Len and I to the Denbigh congregation and blessed us with the many friendships we enjoy there. Oh yeah, and Abbie's nice, too! =)
I remember the call too and was glad you guys gave us a chance...and Abbie is cool too!
