A Day of Thankfulness

I realize that it has been quite some time since I have written. It is not for lack of things to write about but because there has been too much to write about and not enough time. I will have to catch you on some of those things at a later time. As it is Thanksgiving, it seems appropriate that I should recount a few of the things for which I am thankful and what God has done in the recent months.

God has done so much to work out all the details of my move back to PA:
I got to keep my job
I had great help to load and unload the truck
My uncle flew out to drive the truck
Many great memories and special times with my co-workers before leaving
A successful yard sale
Many more little things of which I am probably not even aware

There is so much to be thankful for since I've been back in PA:
It's great to be with my family again and among long time friends
A 50th birthday party given and attended by lots of friends
Reconnecting with my former church
The beautiful colors of fall
Thanksgiving with my family and some extended family

In some ways it feels like I never left and in other ways I still feel like a visitor. I do miss Colorado, my friends and co-workers there and the view from my office. But I am where God wants me to be and there is no better place to be.

I hope your Thanksgiving has been full of praise.
