Blessed.

We celebrated a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend.

All I can think about in the office this morning is our hearty list of things-to-be-thankful-for:

Brothers. A sister. Parents. Extended family members. Cousins. Homes for hosting. A double oven (PTL). An assortment of food. A perfectly cooked turkey. A baster. Butter. Traditions. Football outside. An evening meal. Health. Words of appreciation. A crackling fire. A good night's sleep. Rest. Christmas decorations. A Fraser Fir. Steaming cups of coffee. Breakfast burritos. Acting like kids together. Christmas music. Christmas movies. The gift of friendship. A sermon's reminder of practicing thankfulness. Dreams of future holidays. The gift of presence. The gift of grace. Honesty. Life, in all its beauty. 

Thanksgiving is worth practicing year round.
