A Very Special Thanksgiving


This Thanksgiving is particularly special.

The Lord has made us rich; we have stable minds and bodies, jobs we enjoy, families who love and support us, a roof over our heads, steady income, heat, clothes, food. We are rich indeed. And looking back over our lives, it is easy to pinpoint the many ways in which we have squandered our riches. But God has chosen to continue to heap blessings upon us. And so we choose to hold onto our gifts loosely, so as to give in the gracious ways we have been given.

That said, we now have a whole new blessing in our lives: the gift of new life. And so, without further ado, we introduce to you... "Vanilla Bean."
