This Thursday, November 26, 2009, is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. This year, I particularly give thanks to God for salvation now and forever, and also, here on earth . . .
For a 65th birthday this past Summer,
for good health in so very many aspects
and for God’s continued enablement
despite a few challenges otherwise;
For Sara Faye, devoted wife of 42 years
and mother of Melanie and Jeremy,
for whom, with spouses Michael and Kristy,
I also give thanks, and for grandchildren
Julia, Brynna, Zeke and Addy,
who are parented with extraordinary love and skill;
For a godly mother whose merits defy description;
for the freedoms and prosperity of our country;
and for God’s children everywhere;
For the privilege of preaching, teaching and writing,
for the friend and brother who sponsors my ministry,
and for the fellowship and encouragement
of you, my gracEmail family around the world!
