Giving Thanks and Resting

As this short day at the office nears an end I thought I would share my Thanksgivings.   I look forward to tomorrow, spending time with family and eating good food.  This year will be mine and K's first Thanksgiving with our twins.  Coming up to 10 months M and N continuously make us laugh with their distinct personalities.  It will be a joy to spend the day giving thanks for our growing family!

As I reflect on my life and think about what I am thankful for, I could probably write a list for days.

I am so thankful for my wonderful wife who is able to pour every drop of love and time into our babies.  I think she's got the supermom award coming at year-end.  She's been such a huge support in my business and my passion for running.  We are also fortunate to have most of our family members living in close proximity.

I am also thankful for our friends.  As many of them are young families it is fun to watch our children go together.  The support we share with each other is unmeasurable.

I am thankful for my business and my clients who make my business possible.  Every single day I am thankful for the opportunity to help my friends, family, and new clients take one more step towards building a strong financial foundation.

I am thankful for where I live – Salem is such a beautiful place (especially as I look out my windows this afternoon at the 12 different colors of trees and the crisp blue sky) and wonderful community.

I am thankful for the Lord.  He has blessed me in so many ways and has a hand in control of each of these parts of my life.  I am also thankful for the community at Salem Evangelical.

As you embark on your Thanksgiving festivities this long weekend take a moment to recognize what you have to be thankful for.
