I don't know about you but right now we are going through a budget crunch at our church. For just a moment I was tempted to have a bad attitude about "Thanksgiving" this year. It's moments like this I am gald the Bible says "In everything give thanks". Sometimes you have to give thanks by faith not just when you feel like it.
On the other hand when I do a quick examination of what I have to be thankful about it's a pretty long list. On my deathbed I don't think I'm going to be saying "I wish my childen's ministry budget had been bigger," I will be thinking about what really matters;
* I have the most awesome wife in the world. We have been living in the same house for 24 years and she still likes me.
* My daughter, Melissa, graduated from high school this year. Missy is serving God through an internship called "Go Ministries" (She is having the time of her life).
* My son, Marky, is an awesome worship leader and attends Northwestern College in Minneapolis.
* Deb and I are empty nesters this year so we have more time for each other. :)
* I am part of the leadership team at totally awesome church with a lot of really good people and friends.
* I am washed in the blood of the Lamb. (Without Jesus I would be dead or in prison somewhere)
What are you thankful for?
