Thankful for... a ten-minute exercise

Well, it's the 4^th Thursday in November, and though it's trite, here's a list of things that come to mind that I'm thankful for:

• The lovely Carol, who's put up with me over 23 years
• Our children, who really are young women now, and following the Lord
• ... and who are here with us for Thanksgiving!
• Our little dog: though vexing at times, brings us much joy
• A roof and four solid walls
• Gainful employment
• Being already forgiven, by the blood of Jesus
• The promise of heaven
• Friends to spend Thanksgiving evening with
• Money to give to the poor, and to help spread the good news of the Kingdom of God
• DVDs of Star Trek TNG
• The ability to host a pot-luck tomorrow for 25 internationals at our house :)
• A place of worship -- MPPC -- and Open Door Church San Mateo, a campus thereof
• People we know who honor the Lord by taking steps of faith -- some big and spectacular and some not so visible
• The work of the Holy Spirit around the world in bringing many people to faith in Jesus
