I'll be in the office for a couple hours today, then packing the van and driving over the interstate and through the cornfields to grandmother's house. Not my grandmother, but my childrens' grandmother. Michelle is excited to be among the 40 branches that will hang from the Ober family tree this week as uncles and cousins gather for Thanksgiving.
I'm thankful to be taking my family of four to see our extended family -- thankful that we have a family in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids that we would care to spend our holidays with. While no family escapes a certain level of dysfunctionality, God has certainly blessed us with a lot of love and support that we cherish.
I'm also thankful for all that God has provided this past year -- enough income to pay the bills, enough health to keep us on our feet, enough truth to help us spiritually grow, and enough grace to call us His own.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
