blog: Not Even Hard

It's good to go public with thanks to God for His many gifts. He gives. #

I thank God for giving me the gift of open eyes that I might acknowledge that He is the Giver. #

I thank God for my wife, for her endurance of faith and work, for her relentless desire to bless her people.#

I thank God for my kids, one of whom got married and is now expecting a kid of her own! I am thankful for my son-in-law, my daughter with a new last name, my 16 year-old newly driver's-licensed son, my daughter who loves music and my daughter who loves to play.#

I thank God for our local church, shepherded by men who joyfully sacrifice for the flock, and a flock full of worshipping disciples who are joyful and value-making.#

I thank God for no trips to the Emergency Room for myself (so far this year).#

I thank God for the work of men such as J. Calvin and A. Kuyper. I am thankful for the technology that has enabled me to learn in the now what they wrote then, as well as for some men who are still working and whose blessing technology brings from afar.#

I thank God for the gifts of His Spirit, His Word, His Church, His cosmos.#

I thank God for days/seasons to feast in gratitude.#
