Off the top of my head/heart, what I am thankful for:
- a wife to share life and ministry with
- a son who is emerging into a young man
- a God who is actively involved in my life
- a church that is a joy to pastor
- a staff that gives me opportunity to use my strengths and delegate my weaknesses
- investment of my parents, teachers, and pastors in my character formation
- a past that is forgiven, a present that is full, a future that is promising
- cholesterol and glucose levels that are now at safe levels
- 20 pounds that are no longer on my body
- financial health and security
- two cars that run and are paid for
