Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

This week was Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving. I love that we have a holiday celebrating all the wonderful blessings that God has given to us. I don't just mean material blessings - I mean all of our blessings in Christ, our families, being together, the freedoms we enjoy in this country and on down to the food we eat every day. I am thankful for our supporters who allow us to be here. I am thankful for so much; as I said, I love Thanksgiving.
My parents came down to visit this weekend. It was such a nice time with them. We spent Thanksgiving Day here at our house and then went to a park on Friday. They had to head back home this morning, but it was still a nice time.
When I count my blessings, I can name them one by one:
Even though Dave's parents weren't here to celebrate Thanksgiving, they definitely rank in our "blessings" list as well:
