Happy Thanksgiving!

What a wonderful holiday it is. Family and friends all gathered together to share good food and our lives. For good or bad, life on this world is not a long one, in the big picture, 70 years is very short. We know that our “real” life will start after this one. This life can be difficult at times, but through all the hardships, we can still count the blessings we have received from God.

Everything Thanksgiving, we can appreciate anew the gift of family. Every friend that we have is a blessing, that helps us on this journey of life. All the various aspects of our lives, we can be thankful for.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

I only get to live one life, and I am so thankful that this is the life God has given me. My wife and children have been a God send. I didn’t deserve any of the joys in this life, but it was given to me. I am thankful of a life well lived. To experience my life, all the ups and downs. I wouldn’t trade this life for any other. What a blessing church has been in my life. Every stage of my life, God has given me a church to be a part of. Now, my life is part of the Hillsboro church, and I couldn’t be happier. I am happy that I get to grow and learn with a wonderful group of people. I love all the quirks and personalities that make up our church. I am thankful every morning that I get to be a part of a church family.

I pray your holiday will be a cheerful home. I hope that God will bless your family, and that each passing year we can enjoy our lives with the ones we hold dear. Happy Thanksgiving, God bless you all!
