Happy Thanksgiving

Things I'm thankful for:
- Jesus Christ, without whom I'd be forever lost and forever hopeless
- My beautiful wife, who does so much to keep our home in order. I love you!
- My family; my parents who did a wonderful job providing a great home, my siblings who are a constant support and remain my greatest advocates, my grandparents whom I learned so much from, my wife's family with whom I've become great friends
- A home, a house, warmth, food, shelter
- A great job at a great church where I work with great people
- Our Country: still the greatest country in the world
- Golf: (I digress)...but I do love to play that silly game!
- The family at our church who helped turn our "fixer upper house" into a "home" where we can host Thanksgiving meals
- Airplanes which allow me to visit my family in Papua New Guinea, and take trips to places like Vienna, Austria
- The beautiful world we live in and especially this corner of it; the San Juans, Mount Baker and Shuksan, wow
- For technology which helps us stay in touch with those who are far away

And from my lovely wife:
1. a warm house to wake up in
2. warm clothes
3. my patient husband
4. that I have my hearing so I can enjoy music, that I have use of my hands and fingers so I can play music
5. that mom and dad came home from Honduras for Thanksgiving and Christmas
6. for new babies (like our niece-coming-soon)
7. for good friends from years of friendship
