Thanksgiving

This week is a time of great joy in our family.  The affirmation of marriage this past week for Emily and Martin was such a joy.  We are so blessed by them. We are so grateful for those who helped make the day a wonderful memory that will last their lifetime. Sunday we baptized their daughter Leah.  She, of course, is not more special than any other child I have baptized – at least in the eyes of God.  But to hold my own grandchild, pour the life giving waters of Baptism over her and present her to God….there are no words.

Tomorrow our family will gather together for a Thanksgiving feast. It will be the first time in 28 years all who will be around that table have shared this holiday together.  What a joy!

I hope you are aware of the blessings you have and can give God thanks tomorrow for Extravagant Grace and Generosity.  Happy Thanksgiving!!!
