Thursday Thoughts - Thankfulness continues on Thanksgiving!

Content provided by Jenna Finkenhoefer Thankfulness continues on Thanksgiving! If you missed my post on Tuesday, I asked my Pizza Ranch Family to share what they are most thankful for this year. Here are even more responses I received this week. I continue to be amazed and inspired at the responses. What an incredible privilege it is to work with all of you at Pizza Ranch. THANK YOU. I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did…and Happy Thanksgiving! “To me, Thanksgiving is all about enjoying time with family and friends and thanking God for the many blessings he has given me.”

Thursday Thought - The Vastness of God

One of the things I love most about Iowa is all of our farmland and the beauty that it displays no matter the time of the year. While I grew up in Kansas City (very different than Orange City), all of my grandparents and much of my extended family lived in Northern Iowa and lived on farms.

Thursday Thought - Follow Your Guide

Shortly after I graduated college and my sister-in-law graduated high school, we decided to take a road trip together. 2 Girls, 7 states, one tent, and a trusty Honda Accord took off on a weeklong trek. We learned a tough lesson about always following the map on that trip...

Thursday Thoughts - What are you looking at?

This past weekend I went for a bike ride and stopped by this bridge/creek for a break. I hadn't biked in a couple months, and was looking forward to getting to this point and stopping. There's always something calming about the scenery and the quiet noise of the flowing water. However, as I approached the bridge something else caught my eye.

Thursday Thought - Gifted People

"The gifted man bears his gifts into the world, not for his own benefit, but for the people among whom he is placed; for the gifts are not his, he himself is a gift to the community." -Henry Ford
