It was a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday. What am I thankful for?

• Madison Kate, who had a birthday yesterday. Princess for the day, complete with tiara, Madison has been bringing laughter and joy to our lives for 16 years! What a great young lady.
• Family, who are healthy, blessed, thankful, and full of love for each other.
• Watching daughters and nephews beautifully transform from children to young adults.
• Playing Uncle Tim’s hand-made guitars.
• Cranium, Trivial Pursuit, and the laughter they produce.
• Grandma Jeanne’s cinnamon rolls.
• Intimate conversation.
• Wendy’s peanut-butter chocolate chunk cheesecake.
• I only have to put up with my nephew, Solomon’s, bragging on the stinkin’ Packers for one day.
• Freedom to worship God, work hard, travel unhindered, speak my mind, vote, and love others.

When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. Deuteronomy 8:10 (NIV).
