Happy Thanksgiving!
It's that time of year again. The time when we in the United States stop and purposefully take stock of ours lives to give thanks for what we have been given. It's a practice we should engage in often, but it's good to have an annual reminder.
So, in the spirit of the day ... The things for which I am thankful include:
- A family that loves and supports me
- Many, many circles of friends
- A job that lets me walk with people as they make important decisions in their lives
- Mission Bay Community Church that welcomed me in almost three years ago and has embraced me so fully as their Parish Associate
- The chance to preach both at MBCC and other places
- The ability to be physically active
- The opportunity to live in such a cool place as San Francisco
- The wonders of the interwebs that have allowed me to make, deepen. and renew relationships with friends far and wide
And I could go on. But you get the feeling. I am deeply grateful for all that I have been given. And I'm glad to have a day that allows me to share my thanks with you all for being a part of my life.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
