You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.
You have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
Psalm 16

I am thankful for the faithfulness of God in my life.
I am thankful for the privilege of walking with Jesus by faith; for April, Brook, Sam, and Ellen-an amazing gift; for the community of faith God has brought together at Zion; for health and strength; supportive, solid friendships; joys of life--biking down back roads, sitting by the campfire, playing quoits, reading, playing soccer, laughing around the supper table; being able to share and live the good news of overcoming sin and brokenness and being a new person in Jesus Christ--restored to God.

Writing this out calls me back to pursuing and appreciating these things in life.
Thank you, God, for your faithful presence and guiding hand every moment of life. May I live in the awareness of that promise and reality.
