Here we are: Thanksgiving is upon us once again. I’m always grateful for this time of year because it gives me the chance to look back and reflect on these past twelve months and everything God has blessed me with.

Tomorrow, when I sit at our dining room table and look at my wife, children and other family members, I will be reminded that they have been placed in my life as the most important gift I’ll ever receive. Oftentimes, during the hustle of every day life I find myself forgetting that these people who influence every aspect of my life are the most important.

I look forward to eating a meal prepared by the hands of my wife and loved ones, laughing, reminiscing and preparing for the next year to come. Is there any way to show any measurable degree of gratitude towards God? All I can do is try to imitate his goodness by being sensitive to the needs of others and working to be the best version of myself every day.

May you have a blessed Thanksgiving!
