Psalm 136:1 - O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: For His mercy endureth forever.
I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
#1. I live in the USA, where I am free from persecution and my kids can grow up in an environment where they can learn, grow, play and enjoy life.
#2. My family and I can openly worship God.
#3. This blog has given me the opportunity to share the Word of God and express my views. This has been very therapeutic since I have not been pastoring.
#4. God has given me an awesome call... to take the Gospel to Brownwood, Texas and start a church there.
#5. My wife is behind me 100%.
#6. My kids keep growing, learning and developing. Rachel has been saved and Baptized... Joshua is getting closer. J.J. Is learning to talk, communicate and even pray.
#7. The most tramadic even of my children's upbringing so far has been the simple fracture on Rachel's arm... which will heal perfectly.
#8. God has blessed my ministry. Denson Springs MBC is stronger now than when I arrived there, they are getting stronger in my absence and souls were saved during my ministry there. (My daughter, two Navajo boys, one Navajo woman, one man made a profession as a result of the ministering of a church member and there have been baptisms.)
#9. Denson Springs doesn't hate me for resigning to go to Brownwood.
#10. My good car may have a dead battery, but my clunker runs like a top.
#11. I get to sit under the ministry of Bro. Charles Swilling and get to minister along side Jim Slocumb.
#12. I got to go to TBI for my seminary education.
#13. The Dallas Cowboys are winning.
#14. I get paid to watch high school football.
#15. I get to share God's Word in my weekly newspaper column.
#16. Fried Chicken.
#17. Youth Soccer.
#18. Marvin Gardner.
#19. David Robertson.
#20. My grandparents who raised me when my parents could not.
#21. Deputation appointments.
I could go on... but I won't.
I am also thankful for those of you who read this blog.
I thank God for all the blessings in my life.
