sooo, here we are on another thursday…i’m back at st. arbucks this week, thanks to an offsite meeting this morning…i’m enjoying the amazing atmosphere, not to mention these cool morning temperatures…fall has definitely arrived here in the booming metropolis of lima, oh…i have to say, that even though there aren’t huge numbers of comments each week…i really look forward to thursdays…i set aside time every day to thank God for the blessings in my life, but even more so each thursday…in fact i’m starting to spend more and more time each week, just being silent and allowing the Holy Spirit to remind me of the blessings in my life…
so here we go…i start and hopefully there will be some who follow…
this week i am thankful for the cooler temperatures and for the colors of the leaves that as they are all changing…i’m thankful for college football on saturday, even when my team isn’t that good…i’m thankful for amazing friends who have lifted me up in prayer this week and supported me…i’m thankful for new conversations and meeting new people…i’m thankful for God’s protection over little babies in their mothers’ wombs, and good reports from doctors…i’m thankful for sandie and robin being home from the hospital and for even the small amounts of healing that God has brought…i’m thankful for the ability to laugh at myself…i’m thankful for a great weekend and the extra time kasey and i had to spend with each other…i’m thankful for the fact that i was still able to beat her in golf…i’m thankful that we were able to watch fireproof with our friends shane and april(great flick)…i’m thankful for an amazingly beautiful wife who is also an amazing mother…i’m thankful that God is in complete control no matter what the financial status of our country…i’m thankful for the strength and energy to face the day today…i’m thankful for the ability to sit and drink my venti skinny caramel macchiato at st. arbucks this morning…(i tried to get regular, but the barista said, “don’t you want non-fat milk in that?” i think kasey paid her off!!!)
