Happy Thanksgiving
Today is a day for giving thanks, and so I'll take this opportunity to do so:
I give thanks for:
I give thanks for:
- My family -- Cheryl, my wife, Brett, our son
- My church -- First Christian Church of Lompoc --you have been a blessing to me and to my family
- My home away from home -- Thanks to the Dentons for letting me reside with them when in Lompoc each week
- Living in a nation of freedom
- Good health
- Beautiful place to live
- Good friends
Thou that hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more, a grateful heart
See how thy beggar works on thee
By art.
Wherefore I cry, and cry again;
And in no quiet canst thou be,
Till I a thankful heart obtain
Of thee:
Not thankful, when it pleaseth me:
As if thy blessings had spare days:
But such a heart, whose pulse may be
Thy Praise.
