Alisha and I celebrated our five-year wedding anniversary last Friday! That night during dinner, we had a chance to reflect on the past year. We started this ‘exercise’ (if you will) last year where we share the top three things in various categories, such as: funniest moments, things we have learned, favorite trips, hardest times, most memorable moments, etc. This has truly been a blessing both years we have done it, and I know we will continue doing it for years to come.
I think it is important to look back and reflect, although I rarely do it. This blog is a way to reflect, a discipline I hope to internalize – reflecting on the blessings God has poured out so lavishly on our lives. I have much to be thankful for!
71. I am thankful we ended up leaving late yesterday (although it was very stressful until we arrived) because we missed a lot of traffic and an accident on 64. We would have been sitting forever in accident-traffic
72. Thankful for amazingly delicious seafood on the waterfront to celebrate 5 years of marriage
73. As strange as it sounds, I am thankful for the little lights you put up in front of a camper shaped like different things – they remind me of when I was younger and used to go camping w/ my grandparents…
74. Thankful for times of reflection and talking about the great and difficult things that happened this year
75. Thankful for some quality time w/ my parents and Megan
76. Thankful for the eye-opening experience of watching a toddler for a whole weekend
77. Thankful that my wife and I have stayed together for 5 years – through ups and downs
78. Thankful for hospitality of some good friends and yummy food!
79. Thankful for good talks with distant friends – encouraging and thought-provoking
80. Thankful for forgiveness from others when we hurt or disappoint them
