Thanksgiving Gratitude: A Few Things I’m Thankful For

Uncategorized 1 Minute

  1. Faith
    I’m thankful for a God who doesn’t change, even when everything else does.
  2. Oklahoma Roads
    I’m thankful for Oklahoma roads. They keep tire-alignment shops prosperous and humble the rest of us.
  3. Pie
    I’m thankful for pie. Cake is fine, but pie tastes like someone put in a little extra effort.
  4. Family
    I’m thankful for Amy, Lincoln, and Andrew—who somehow put up with my quirks, plans, late-night ideas, and the way I overthink simple decisions. They deserve more credit than they get.
  5. Coworkers
    I’m thankful for coworkers who work hard, care deeply, keep me laughing, and make me look better than I actually am.
  6. Hymns
    I’m thankful for hymns—steady truth set to music that still holds up.
    Side note: I still want to know how to correctly sing “God of Earth and Outer Space.”
  7. Road Trips
    I’m thankful for road trips—solo or with the boys. That’s where my mind resets and where some of our best conversations happen.
  8. Simple Things
    I’m thankful for simple things—a good meal, a clean kitchen, and the five minutes when the house is actually quiet.
  9. Health
    I’m thankful for better health—even if working out still feels like a consequence for choices I didn’t make.
  10. Colorful Shoes and Socks
    I’m thankful for my colorful shoes and socks. Somehow they became a signature without me ever planning it.
  11. Cold Water
    I’m thankful for extra-cold water. It has carried me through more late nights and long meetings than I can count.
  12. Great Friends
    I’m thankful for great friends. I’ve often said you can pick your friends and pick your nose, but you can’t wipe your friends under the couch.
