As I consider Thanksgiving today, I am reminded of all for which I have to be thankful. My family, friends, and church family. The abundance of wealth God has blessed me with compared to so much of the world who has not even food or clean water. My health. The ability to see, to hear, to walk. The men and women who put themselves in harm’s way every day so that I may live in freedom. Their families who sacrifice so they may serve. The ability to worship freely without fear of reprisal.

First and foremost, I am ever so thankful for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who by the shedding of His precious blood has set me truly free.

It is a mystery, and I cannot begin to comprehend it, but I am so thankful.

I wish you Thanksgiving blessings!
