As Thanksgiving Day continues its approach, I can't stop recounting all the ways God has blessed me. To list them all here would take more space and probably be too long for you to read. Suffice it to say that I am truly blessed by God in two major areas of my life - my family life, and my personal heart and soul.
How many people out there have a stable family life like ours shares? So many people will be torn as they have to choose which home to celebrate Thanksgiving with, Mom's or Dad's. Fortunately for us, our decision is only difficult because we can't decide where we should all get together at the same time. In my estimation, that is a good problem. My wife would be a great image of love and blessing in my life. Her tender, steadfast love has been an anchor for me for the past 7 years of my life. Her grace and forgiveness is crazy! Why would she/should she remain with me after all I put her through??? Nothing but her unending love for me. That's incredible!
My kids bless me daily with laughs, frustrations, and wonder as we attempt to lead them through these early years of their lives. They truly are a blessing, and this new baby will be no exception for sure.
And as I sit here right now, I have a clean and clear conscience before my God. That's a great and peaceful spot to be. Believe me, I've tried hiding and running from the truth, but that ends in ruin and demise. To sit in my home and know that I am forgiven and freed from the sins that so easily entangle me is nothing short of overwhelming.
I am content. I need nothing more. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
