Gratitude isn’t just counting your blessings, it has the capacity to multiply your appreciation and thankfulness.
It’s certainly true in my case. This year as I think of all I’m thankful for, the list is long. Here are just a few highlights:
1. My family. I’m so thankful for those around me who share life with me and make it fun. My wife, my boys, and all the rest of my family are such a blessing. Don’t fail to appreciate those closest to you.
2. The team I work with at the Rescue Mission. I’m blessed to work with great, dedicated people. Our staff, board, and volunteers are some of the best people on earth and I’m glad to work along side of them.
3. Friends. I’m so blessed to have close friends. I’ve seen recently that most adults don’t have even one best friend. How sad is that? I couldnt’ do it without my group of best friends. They keep it real and they great fun.
4. My church. I’m fortunate to have a great church that refreshes and challenges me on a spiritual level. I appreciate my church and all the great community it has brought to my life.
5. Health. I’ve had a few aches and pains, but basically I’m blessed to be healthy every day. This is one not to be taken for granted.
6. Community I love living in the northwest and am so glad for beautiful fall days. Living in Tacoma is great. Our neighborhood has great restaurants, coffee shops, a little movie theater, it’s a great place to live.
There’s so much more I could list, but I wanted to just give you some highglights, not bore you to death.
What are you thankful for?
