Last Sunday afternoon Anita and I attended a funeral for our old friend, Debbie Sims. Debbie worked alongside her husband, Rev. Bob Sims, in founding three churches in Defiance, Bryan, and Avilla, and building a sizable church in Angola. Debbie had battled cancer for several years and is finally at home with the Lord.

As we prepare for Thanksgiving, its good for us to remember who the people in our lives are that we are thankful for. I’m thankful for those who influenced my spiritual life like Pastor Bob Sims and others. As you think about your life, what are the names of people you are thankful for and why. We usually take God for granted in these areas. Who is it you’re thankful for?
