Last night at our life group we took the opportunity for everyone to share two things: 1) What is something you are thankful for this year and 2) What is something you are committed to doing in the future.
Thankfulness answers included being thankful for good marriages, family, children, healthy babies (we had a premi born into our group this year), relationships - old and new, jobs, health, life, thankfulness that God is not done with us yet (regardless of age), one person related how their family had gone through Hurricane Katrina and were going to be able to move back to their house soon (out of a FEMA trailer).
Commitment answers included committing to slow down and enjoy life, committing to choose to be content no matter what your circumstance, committing to be good husband's and wives and parents, committing to continue to develop relationships, etc.
It was a great time to be able to connect with each other and share in a more intimate way. The funniest moment came when Daniel said that he didn't know we were going to have to share commitments so he didn't have an answer for that one. Someone said that he should commit to staying out of the ER - this brought a good laugh and a moment of comic relief to what had been a fairly serious evening.
We are blessed in so many ways. I hope you take a moment to think about the things you are thankful for and things you will commit to for the coming year.
