I thought it would be nice to put together a post in honor of Thanksgiving. Taking a moment to pause and reflect on what the holiday is really about is refreshing amidst the traveling, football, and shopping chaos. So last week I sent out an email to the entire Icon Systems office asking everyone what they were grateful for.
I fully intended on summarizing everyone’s answers to make the list short and sweet. However, the responses I received from my co-workers were so awesomely heartwarming I couldn’t bring myself to paraphrase their answers.
What we’re grateful for
- Being able to serve churches across the United States
- Caring co-workers and meaningful work
- Wonderful co-workers and a purposeful career within a great company
- A job where I can focus on serving people and the Church directly, rather than focusing on profits
- The privilege of working with the kindest group of customers ever
- Being a part of the Icon Systems team and being able to help people
- The family and friends God has blessed me with
- Friends and family
- Learning experiences in parenting 😉
- My wonderful wife and four boys, and for the chance to join the Icon team
- Knowing that I don’t need to be perfect—because Jesus has been perfect in my place
From all of us at Icon Systems, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
