Thanksgiving is an important holiday that often gets overlooked. Giving thanks for the blessings we enjoy as individuals and as a nation seems so 19th century, non-commercial, and irrelevant in the post-modern world. Many mock the idea of a divine power, and those who don't are too busy overeating, going to the movies, watching football, and shopping. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy most of these activities (except the shopping). It's just that I/we have so much to be thankful for. Setting one day aside to reflect on the blessings doesn't seem too much to ask.
So, here's my Top 5 things I am thankful for this season:
- Amazing Grace (how sweet the sound)
- Family (a wonderful wife, two healthy kids, a rich spiritual heritage...)
- The Church (the Bride of Christ in all her "glorious dregs" - and in particular my local church body)
- Good friends (both local and abroad)
- Being born in America (Even with all its imperfections, this country is still a great place to live and be citizen of)
