Written by Isn’t Thanksgiving great? Of course, the food is wonderful. My wife’s aunt is a terrific cook, and I ate too much as I always do (but enjoyed every minute of it!). The setting was great (every other year we spend Thanksgiving day at a cabin belonging to my wife’s aunt and uncle on a lake near Bloomington, Indiana). And it is especially good to spend time with family. The only downer this year was that the Lions got spanked 41 – 9 by the Colts.
This Thanksgiving really gave me a chance to reflect on just how blessed I am, and how undeserving I am of those blessings. This is not false humility or anything like that. It’s really how I feel. We had a rough, painful, uncertain year in 2003. But God overwhelmed us with blessings of every kind this year — and helped us to see how 2003, though difficult, was a wonderful blessing as well.
“Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good
and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues
through all generations.”
Psalm 100:4-5
