Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I asked each member of our family to share a few things they are thankful for, and this is what they said.

Russ: snow plows that clear the highway and a tractor for plowing our driveway, peaceful mornings, coffee with cream

Lisa:  coffee and conversation with friends, Russ, the view from my kitchen, Jesus, flannel sheets

Hannah:  new friends and old friends, a church that preaches the gospel to me every week, the occasional chance to run bridges over the Mississippi River, the incredible experience of learning to be a surgeon

Mimi: unseasonably mild weather, coworkers who make Monday mornings great, and a husband who makes me laugh every day

Andrew: hot apple cider mixed with caramel, my awesome and humongous family, fuzzy kittens, my wife’s cooking

Noah: open doors, opportunities

Samuel: alarm clocks, study groups, warm blankets

Isaiah: fresh mop heads at work, sweet Seattle rain, public transportation, the guitar Noah loaned me

Ladybug: knitting projects, good books, the opportunity to meet new friends at school

Bee: music, family, friends

Dimples: school, spicy food, sports

Sunshine: amazing friends, our house, food to eat, celebrating Thanksgiving, and for God – I could go on a long time.

Eby: God, Thanksgiving and yummy food, Jesus for dying on the cross and forgiving our sins

Little Man: spaghetti and meatballs, our house, my life

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.

Question:  What are you thankful for today?
