One of my favorite things to do is take my family out to eat when we can. It brings me joy to break bread, talk and laugh together. I never set out to hear it, but when they thank and appreciate it after, it simply makes me feel even better.

I believe our Father in heaven likes the same thing. God wants to bring us joy…and He gives us so much. When we thank and appreciate Him, when we are aware of His continual blessings, it naturally brings our relationship to the forefront.

Today I’m especially thankful to God for our Pizza Ranch family. We just finished an amazing National Conference up in Keystone, Colorado. Wow, what a blessing. To see God in nature and His people.

May we always be on the lookout for His blessings in our life. And may we each continue to grow in our thankful heart.

Colossians 2:6-7 says, “So then, just as you received Christ as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
