Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” -1 Chronicles 16:34

Here in the United States, today is Thanksgiving Day. For most of us, that means time with family, great food, and an opportunity to reflect on what we’re thankful for this year. When I look back on 2016, the year to Excel, I can’t help but be thankful for some amazing and ‘Excel’lent blessings! Among them…

  • The grace of God.
  • The love of my family – both of origin and choice.
  • A healthy family and wonderful grandchildren, the newest of whom, Livy Rae, being born just a few months ago.
  • The gift of time.
  • A growing church that is making a Kingdom impact, both locally and globally.
  • An amazing team.
  • The joy of friends.
  • You! I’m so grateful for your support, your focus on personal growth, and your willingness to journey with me in creating lives having Kingdom impact and significance. You have a special place in my heart.

If you live outside the United States, I encourage you to take a moment and reflect on all that you are thankful for today.

From my family to yours, have a wonderful, blessed, and highly favored Thanksgiving!
