.: thanksgiving :.

To celebrate the 2005 Thanksgiving, I had breakfast with my family, turkey with my relatives, watched the Broncos defeat the Cowboys in overtime... and drove my uncle's 2006 Corvette Sports Car! I missed last year's get-together, and I didn't realize how much I missed it until today. I had the chance to see my cousin and his wife's year old baby, Kaile. It is so rich how a person can feel so connected with family over something as common as a meal. There are so many things that I have to be thankful for... blessings that have been given to me, that I don't deserve by any means... people, situations, and gifts that the Father continues to pour out upon my life. And one of the greatest of those such blessings are men and women who are a part of my heritage - people that know me and love me, and that I continue to be stirred and deepened by simply through knowing and loving them.

Thank you, Father... for such things, for such life, and for all of You!
