It was a good Thanksgiving Day at the Sublett House North. My family is all here, and we spent a good day together. I am fighting something, either a migraine or something similar. Loud noises and busy-ness seem to make things worse. But that’s the way it goes sometimes, right? I had to grab a nap this afternoon, but I’m thinking that tomorrow will be better.
I was reminded several times this week that in spite of the present state of the world (wars, economic downtrend, sufferings, hunger…just watch the news) I have much to be grateful for.
*I have a wonderful wife, fabulous kids, and a great family on both sides of the tree. I can’t say enough about the blessing that my family is to me. God’s goodness is ever-shining through them.
*my church–I have the privilege of serving alongside an incredible team of Kingdom-minded people, folks who look for ways to go the extra mile, thinking outside the box to bless the community, ready to jump in and join God where he is at work.
*our youth staff–God has put together a top notch team of highly capable, highly committed leaders who want to invest in teenagers, who believe that God wants to move in our midst. I am humbled and challenged to be part of this group.
*Our God, who continues to love and pursue me, even when I mess things up, miss his leading, and stumble along. He never gives up on me!
*teenagers–I am continually reminded that the best is yet to come, and almost every week shows me a glimpse of young men and women taking strides to live as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. Truly, hope springs eternal…
*there are thousands more things, great things, little things…all reminding me that I am a man blessed by the God who Is, the God who loves…
Thank You
