Jesus Creed Thanksgiving

Thursday November 27, 2008

It is Thanksgiving in the USA, a day we set aside to be with family and to give thanks to God for our blessings. We are thankful for health and provisions ... and we are deeply aware that our country has taken some serious economic downturns of late. And that means moms and dads and boys and girls are struggling. We pray for them today.

We are thankful for our family, including very especially the addition of Aksel Donovan, our new grandson -- son of Annika and Lukas.

And... Kris and I want to express our thanks today for you, the Jesus Creed blog community.

And ... to "RJS" for her contributions to this blog that far outdo anything most of us can expect. I could go on ... go ahead and post your own thanksgivings today.

I am thankful for my Father and the amazing influence he has lived before me. I'm thankful for God's work in my family's life since my brother died. I'm thankful for Scot's book The Jesus Creed and all the truth it spoke into my life. I'm thankful for finding this blog and all the amazing conversation which takes place here. I am thankful for God's grace and mercy.

Now living in Arizona, I'm thankful for the awesome take-my-breath-away majesty of God's creation... and I get to experience it each and every day. From morning hikes in the mountains to sunsets colored in shades that I could never even imagine.

I'm thankful for community of family and friends and Jesus Creed-ers. This blog has preserved my spiritual sanity as we continue to search for a faith community in our new home.

Not many takers here - but I'll add anyway.

Beyond the usual, and of course important, suspects - family first and foremost, job, health..., I am most thankful for the opportunity to think, read, study, converse, and write about important faith topics on this blog. I thank God for bring this to me when I needed it and thank you for putting in the time and effort to make this an outstanding public forum.
