Looking back over 15 years of business, I can truly say that I’ve been blessed. I can look over my past employment, and I can see how God has prepared me for the very position I hold now in our firm… from my management style, to my knowledge, to the vision and mission of our firm, to our firm’s future. I’m not saying I’m the best at what I do, or that I’m even the best for this firm… but I can see the preparation that has been planned for me. And I’m thankful.

4. I’m thankful for our solid, qualified staff. My staff check my qualifications and my decisions all the time. They still recognize my leadership, but they are what makes our firm run. They consistently perform their job with excellence, consistency, and high integrity. Though we are not perfect, I’m so thankful for each and every person that works at our firm.

3. I’m thankful for our clients. I tell everyone all the time that we have the best clients in the world. And that takes work. We keep a “clean client list” so that dead weight won’t hinder our service to the clients that value what we can do for them. There is always purpose behind our decisions, and our decisions to fire our clients is for the good of the clients who truly rely on us. Because of our decision to keep a clean client list, we have ended up with the best clients in the world, and I’m so thankful for these friends.

2. I’m thankful for my wife. If anyone takes the hit for my commitment to our firm and our clients, it’s my wife. She understands what I have to do and allows me to do it. She offers me marketing advice, management advice, advice on the future of the firm, and so much more. I could not be effective without her constant guidance. I’m so blessed and thankful for her. I love her so much.

1. I’m thankful for Christ. My life is wrapped up in who I am in Christ. I’ve seen the darkness of my heart, and my love for myself. And now I know the love of a Father who has forgiven me for my sin, through Christ. Eternally, my hope is not in what I do on this earth and I’m thankful for Christ that has given me an eternal hope.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
