Family portraits are always an adventure around our house. I was lucky to get the one in the comment below with everyone's faces showing, but once I saw the one with Harrison hiding in his 'hard hat' and everybody else laughing at him, I knew that would be the one I would use.
This week, as we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I can't help thinking about family. Both Christy and I have been blessed with generations of strong, healthy, God-fearing families. Over this holiday weekend, we will celebrate with not only our parents and siblings, but many Aunts, Uncles and Cousins, as well. They love us and we love them.
Of all things, this is something I should not take for granted, but all too often, I do.
Beyond the parades; beyond the football and certainly beyond the inevitable preparations for "Black Friday" -- may we remember to celebrate the bounty that we experience all around us everyday. Yes, a bounty of food, to be sure, but also a bounty of family and friends; a bounty of wealth; a bounty of freedom; a bounty in all of God's many blessings.
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
--Psalm 23

This is my son, Jacob, taken after sunset on the dunes of Lake Michigan. It was the night before he would return to college classes, and we were determined to treasure one last sunset walk together. Oh, how blessed we were! It was a beautiful, unseasonably warm January evening and we had the whole state park to ourselves. Finally, the first stars appeared in the sky and we made our way quietly back through the climbing dunes, into the woods, and back to our car. #blessedbeyondmeasure
