Inspire: Thanksgiving

I want to give thanks today.

And it has nothing to do with a turkey.

I recently got back from a vacation, and ended up in the post-vacation mode: Plop your bags down, to be dealt with when you have time, get ready to frantically head to work, try to keep some of the joy you experienced from flying away the moment you get back.

This means that the bachelor pad, already in a bachelor-pad-ish state, was even more so, with everyone and their baggage lounging around everywhere. We were up to our elbows in dirty laundry, dishes, and general mayhem.

Enter an angel in disguise. She asks if she can come clean my place. I am flabbergasted. I've never had the offer - someone that wants to just clean my house, to be a blessing to me, the guys, and the Lord. And she comes in when the house it at it's worst.

I come back home and find something beautiful I never knew existed behind piles of laundry and layers of dirt. Not only has she cleaned, she's done dishes, laundry, and unpacked my stuff (putting it all in the right places, to boot!). My day of "okay get it done" is replaced by a gratitude... this is such a gift.

So here's to angels - I know some of them read blog posts, and so know that this is one man who is forever thankful that I get to see this beauty you create.

Thank you.
