House Church Talk - What are you thankful for?

[Phillip Cohen]

* From Jon Herring, one of ETR's staff writers . . . 
"I am most thankful for the loving bonds of family. I remember coming
home from college one time and telling my father about how many friends I
had made and how close we had become. I told him, "Dad, these are my
friends for life."
"I still remember his words. He said, "Jon, you're too young to realize
this, but friends will come and go in your life. It is your family that
will remain."
"I have since come to appreciate his wisdom. While I do have some
friendships that have lasted for a decade or more, they are very few in
comparison to those who have come and gone in my life. Yet family is a
continuing source of stability and support. Even the extended members of
my family I still see every year or two . . . which is more than I can
say for the lifelong friends I thought I had."
