- This has been a good year at our house. God has been good to us in many ways. He has blessed us with friends and family like you! We are grateful for each one of you.
We are grateful to God for providing for our needs. Rick still has a job with the State of Washington and is able to bring home the bacon each month. We are still able to put food on the table and have a roof over our heads. We have much to be thankful for.
We are grateful to God for our health. Our kids are healthy and Rick and Marsha have their health issues but overall we are doing great and able to do what we need to do. God’s grace is sufficient.
We are grateful to God for the body of believers that He has put us with at church and for the faithful teaching of God’s Word that we hear each Sunday.
We are grateful for our dog, Daisy. She has irritating habits, but she is also a sweet pug-dog and she makes us laugh.- We are grateful for our children. It blesses us to see that they get along so well with each other and missed each other enough to talk for 30 minutes or more each night when they were separated for three days. We were blessed by their happy laughter when we were all reunited again. Homeschooling pays off big dividends.
We are grateful for the lessons God teaches us each day as we study the Bible and pray individually and each night as a family.
We are grateful for God’s wonderful provision of two free nights stay at the Coeur d’ Alene Resort and free admittance to the Family Life Marriage Conference. It was beyond our expectations.
We are especially grateful for God’s gift of salvation through His only Son Jesus Christ. This is the reason we celebrate Christmas! Without Christ in Christmas there is no Christmas. So as we exchange our gifts this year, remember the best Gift of all, God’s gift of salvation through the Babe in the Manger.

We are thankful for a God who is always good, always just, always loving. He is often willing to chastise us, for our own good; may we be grateful for that. I am thankful for His longsuffering as I learn to obey. I am thankful for the wife and children He has blessed me with. We are thankful for a warm place to live, and for lots of good food to eat; may we not eat too much.
May our reflection and thankfulness on God's grace teach us to live soberly and righteously before our lost friends and family, for Jesus' sake.
I always make a special effort on Thanksgiving to focus on being thankful and tell God about it! I like to sit and think of all the things. There are so many! I'm thankful for Salvation, my husband and son, and our comfortable home! I am thankful that my health is better!
