Pre-Thanksgiving Gratitude

It continues to be a time of taking new ground in our lives. Both Meryal and I are very grateful for the opportunity we have to serve at Redeemer Church, for the great effort all three of our kids put into everything they day and for the little ways that God shows us that He is present each and every moment - whether we bother to acknowledge Him or not!

Next week officially kicks off the Holiday season and along with it most us will be putting our schedules into high gear - and many of us don't have much margin in our normal schedules to crank things up at all.

My prayer for our community (geographic and virtual) is that we will not sacrifice the Joy of the season in the name of perpetuating the season itself. In that sense the holidays are very self-defeating!

Have a great week and enjoy the world God put you in for what it is.
