What I'm Most Thankful For
Ok, I'll admit it's probably not real newsworthy, and thanks-living is better than an annual Thanks-giving, but here's my list for 2007 anyway:
1. My wife of almost 35 years - Chris, I never cease to be amazed at how you continue to grow! Your love for God and His people keeps me forever grateful that I get to share life with you, and I'm SO thankful to have you as my wife, my best friend, my lover!
2. The people of CLC - I've said it before and I'll say it again, if Chris and I were not pastors, but we lived in the south suburbs, this is where we'd go to church! I love the diversity, the sincerity, the incredible-giftings, and the energy of this church!
3. Chicawgo! I know; I know; it's cold & rainy and snow is in the forecast, but c'mon folks - you gotta admit - this is a world-class city! From the skyline as you come up Lakeshore Drive, to the incredible FOOD, to special places and events, and even our sports teams (well, that is a love-hate relationship) - where else would you rather live?
4. Did I mention food? Can't wait for tomorrow and Chris' thanksgiving delicacies - along with her parent's from Michigan, our children and 'the boys' (Jasper & Pedro) - it's going to be a good day, and I'm thankful!
5. The GOD who never gives up on me - the ever-faithful, always-powerful, wonderful Lord - I really mean this: I don't know how people make it who don't know Him (and I don't ever want to try!)
What are you thankful for? Happy Thanksgiving!
