Don’t forget to be thankful

Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday of the year. In addition to being a time for families and friends to catch up, and to gorge themselves into food-induced comas, it is also a time for reflecting on God's grace and the good things He has provided for us.

While I have a plethora of things to be thankful for, I struggled when writing this column because this year has probably been the most difficult one for me in recent memory. I've been sick more times than I can remember. Without going into too many details, some of my health problems this year have really brought me to my knees at times.
