1. The good character of God (both righteous and gracious) as revealed in the Bible, and His assurance (also from the Bible) that His purposes for all things and all people will indeed be fulfilled.
2. My family (a good wife, a new son-in-law for one of our daughters, another on the way for our other daughter, and our son).
3. With all it's flaws, the country we live in, and the era in which we inhabit it.
4. Shelter, food, relative security, enough income to keep things going.
5. The Robinson Cano effect and the 2013 M's season, not perfect but a start.
6. For the first time in my nearly 60-year life, my local team winning the Super Bowl. Doesn't matter if they don't this year.
7. Another year of life since last Thanksgiving.
