What I’m thankful for
I wanted to take a moment of your time today and ask that you reflect today on the graces and mercies that you have received. No need to respond to this post unless you want to. For me, grace is something you receive that you may not deserve and mercy is something you don’t get that you do deserve. I assure you, I am somewhere in the middle.
Sometimes we believe we are entitled to things in which we are not. We all have trials and tribulations. We may envy others for what they have or who they are, but you are better off that others.
For me, I am thankful for my wife and two kids whom I love dearly. It is they that support my passion for airgunning.
My beautiful wife of 30 years allows me to do this without hindrance or reserve.
My two kids whom shoot with me.
I am thankful for my health. I just recently had a full physical from head to toe and all orifices 😯 inspected. Even my dentist can’t find anything.
I am thankful that my business is thriving in this economy.
I am thankful for my friends both face to face and on line (i.e you guys)
And lastly but not leastly, I am thankful my Condor can still do 20 shot 1″ groups at 55 yards.
Give thanks today, even if it’s small.
Dave

Sometimes when I pray instead of giving God my modified Christmas list (regardless of time of year) I decide ahead of time to ask for nothing and just give the Lord thanks for every Blessing I can think of and I am amazed how long that list is. Its a good way of keeping the right perspective especially when you had a bad day or week.
Happy Thanksgiving TAG brothers! You guys are the best unpaid R&D department AF could ever hope to have 😉

Outstanding Dave!
Grace, graciousness, being graceful, are goals for me, (no, I don’t always meet these goals.) It seems to me that there are always many opportunities to be gracious and graceful with my patients and co-workers and most of all, family. (I constantly remind myself that if these people are here in my x-ray room, they are not at their best and are hoping that I am.)
You are right on with the appreciation of your good health and that of you family’s also. I amm thankful for the same…the stomach flu has just made its way around here, but that’s mild by comparision to what others are dealing with. (Some friends and family have declined their invitations to our Thanks Giving dinner as they prefer to stay away…I don’t blame them.) 😀
