As I sit here and reflect on this weekend I feel happy. No, happy is too weak. I feel joyful. I'm blessed despite circumstances.
Thursday was great. We feasted with family and good friends and enjoyed spending time together.
Friday was busy. Sarah and I decorated our house for Christmas spending about 12 hours doing so.
Saturday was less busy but stressful for me because we found out our oven doesn't work and burns anything you put in it and we discovered that our laptop power cord stopped working.
Despite the stresses of yesterday I have so much to be thankful for:
- Family that enjoys each others company
- A wife that I not only love with all my heart but also love spending time with.
- Time off work
- The fact that we didn't have Thanksgiving at our house this year because it probably would have burned.
- the fact that I have a second device I can use while I wait for a new power cord for my laptop.
- generous parents and in-laws that overwhelm us (and Caleb) with gifts.
- A Christian heritage that points me daily to Christ so that my list of things I be thankful for can go on and on.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Now on to Christmas!
