Thanksgiving (con't)

10 more things I'm thankful for:

1. My family of origin, for giving me life and a context to understand grace.
2. The SJ2 church family, for being generous and faithful to their vision of grace.
3. The SJ2 Teachers, for dispensing grace into the lives of our young people. (Teachers: check back Friday for a special video about you)
4. The SJ2 Youth & Children, for making the grace in me come alive.
5. The VAY Youth & Children, for thrilling me with a grander vision of grace.
6. Giao Hat and the C&MA, for opening the door to grace.
7. Regent College, for instilling in me a deeper and wider understanding of grace.
8. The food I eat, the house I live in, the car I drive, the full tank of gas I could afford earlier today - what can I say? Grace provides!
9. All my illness and signs of growing old, for demonstrating the sufficiency of grace.
10. My life, with all its joy and sorrow, hope and despair, victory and woundedness, for I am discovering that it is a sacred journey filled with grace upon grace.

Thank you God.
