What Are You Thankful For?
With the national celebration of a "Day of Thanksgiving" right around the corner, please take a few minutes to share some of the things that you're thankful for this November 2011. "Thanks!" :>)
I am thankful for a loving Savior, a beautiful (and talented) wife (Tracy Kyle Pyle), healthy and loving kids, parents (Bill and Pacheco Pyle) who are still with here to influence their great-grandkids, a wonderful brother, sister-in-law and extended family on that side (Paul William Pyle, Nanette Pyle and the rest of the Ohio Pyles) and other family, on my wife's side. I am blessed to be a part of a Bible-believing church, where the Word of God is held forth without compromise, an alumnus of an historic and blessed Christian school, who does the same and a worldwide family of believers. I am grateful and thankful for the wonders of Facebook and social networking and the manner in which it has allowed us to reconnect in a way no other medium has. Oh - and I'm thankful for turkey, dressing and the whole 9 yards. I'm thankful for computers, too (knock on wood)...
To all my family, friends, church family and work family. Happy Thanksgiving and may God richly bless and protect you all! With Love and Thanksgiving in my heart for each of you.
There is so much to be thankful for! I hardly know where to begin...? I guess that I'm mostly thankful for a loving heavenly Father that cares enough for us to use hardships and trials to bring us closer to Him. As much as we don't like it, God uses His Providence to purge our imperfections. And I've had to learn that it's so much easier if we just humbly submit and learn from His process... Thank you Lord!
What I great idea thank you Dean, I am thankful for you my friend.
