Thanksgiving is an odd holiday. Don't get me wrong; I absolutely love Thanksgiving, however, isn't it weird that on the same day we go from talking about what we are thankful for around a table containing more food than the continent of Africa, then turn around and stand in line at Wal-Mart so we can get that $5 toy stroller and $10 waffle maker? It's a little backwards to me, yet I still love Thanksgiving. I decided to do a list of 10 things I'm thankful for. In no particular order...
I'm thankful for:
- Jesus
- My wife Pam
- Mom and Dad
- My kids
- My church
- My job at my church
- My friends
- My in-laws
- Pam's job that allows us to fly to cool places
- Our new waffle maker (only $10 at Wal-Mart)
Those are just a few. What are 10 things you are thankful for?
