Thanksgiving Reflections

What are you thankful for?

I was so thankful to be invited to the baptism of a gentleman in our Residential Recovery Program at his church last Sunday. It was a tremendous joy to see him beaming and seated in the same pew with his 3 children who had NEVER been together before that day. These 3 young people had the honor of seeing their dad, a man changed by Christ, experience baptism, and declare a public profession of his faith. This was one of the highlights of my opportunities as a counselor. “Thank You, Lord, for changed lives and how these folks impact their families and others.”
