So Many Dream of Being Here

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His faithful love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1

Happy Thanksgiving from all of the King family to yours. 

Thanksgiving for me is a lot about stepping back and reflecting with a heart of gratitude. Many of you will recall the great hymn “Count Your Blessings,” which in part says: “When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.”

This week, I can’t help but be grateful for this great nation we call home.

Everyone in the world wants to live in the United States. That’s why people have come here by the droves across the decades, with a dream to build a new life. America is a place where millions have yearned to come, and we are so blessed to live here. I can honestly say with all my heart there’s nowhere I’d rather live than in the United States, Texas, and frankly, here in SD 10.

Now, as a father and grandfather, I have a responsibility to pass on that thankfulness to my family, and instill that recognition of all that we have. It’s important we talk to our children and our grandchildren about the great blessings God has given us.

I pray this week will be a wonderful time with those you love.
