'tis the season to be

Next week is THANKSGIVING! Wahoo!

I can't tell you how much I have to be thankful for...there is so much. And let me tell you, this email is not some manufactured "wahoo" kind of email - it has taken me the past few weeks to get through a very difficult emotional funk. I know...me? Emotional? (be nice)

I am SO thankful for my God and best friend; without you, Lord, I would be nothing.

I am SO thankful for my precious princess, Camille; there's nothing better than snuggling up with her, eating popcorn and watching "Phantom of the Opera"!

I am SO thankful for Willow Bend; without this church family I could still be wondering and wandering! You guys keep me hopping and I love it!

I am SO thankful for ALL the friendships I have through the years; from high school, from previous churches, my pastor, this team, the newly deepend friendships through my involvement with children's ministry transition, the old willow benders and all the new (and still to come) willow benders.

The list could go on and on... my parents, my brother, my past and MY FUTURE!

God is amazing and the coolest thing I've discovered about Him is that in all of his infinite-greatness, He really enjoys the simple things... like sharing life with His kids.

Spend some time this next week looking for ways to thank Him. And while you're at it, look for ways to thank your spouse, your kids, your friends, your co-workers, your pastor (let's all rush him after service!)... just be thankful. It could revolutionize your life!
