Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart

This is Thanksgiving season, a time to reflect and give thanks for all the good things in our lives. I want to say a special thanks to God for the journey so far. I want to thank Him for how rich my life has been; how exciting the adventure of following Him with my whole heart has been.

I come from a wonderful Christian family with a great heritage. I’m the oldest of six kids who all love and serve God. And I married a wonderful Italian girl who has a great family that loves God. I have loved the Lord since I was a child and I have felt His guiding hand throughout my life.

God’s blessings in my life have allowed me to travel around the world multiple times (72 countries so far) and see hundreds of thousands of people come to know the Lord. His rich blessings have given me a godly wife and children, wonderful grandchildren and faithful friends.

God’s hand in my life has led me to see countless miracles, write hundreds of musical arrangements and songs that have been used by thousands of churches. His blessings have also enabled me to train and mentor thousands of musicians from all over the world to use their gifts and talents to glorify God. It has been an incredible journey, a great adventure, and I believe some of the best is yet to come.

So I just want to pause and say ‘Thank You, God’. You have been faithful. You have supplied all my needs. Your love and presence has changed my life. I thank You for health, direction and purpose. Thank You Lord, for all You have done so far and for all You are still going to do. I love You with all my heart!
