God Has Blessed Me In My Life

As this Thanksgiving Day comes to a close I would like to say thank you to all my new friends       I have met here in Jland. I hesitate to name them all because I have met so many and I do not want to forget anyone.

I pray that God gives all of you many blessings this year and the years to come.

 I pray for you to be happy with where God sends you. 

I pray for your days to be full of love and joy.

I pray for God to keep you and all your families safe from harm.

I pray that you would all be financially able to live a prosperous life.

God Bless You Everyone.

Now I would like to thank some special people in my life/

Mom, thank you for always being there for me through the happy and sad times and giving me such good advice, even when you tell it like it is and say to me to let time take it's course. I love you so very much!!!!

Daddy,  Thank you for being the rock that you are. So wise and always encouraging me to be the best that I can be and to develop my talents. I love you more than words can say.

Pam, Thank you for being my big sister and for loving me no matter how silly I seem at times.  I have always looked up to you even if you did not know this.... I love you so much and I am sorry that we don't spend more time together/

Christi, Thank you for all the fun times we had together as kids and all the long days of made up games and night time talks/  I miss you so much and I will love you forever and I keep you close to my heart.  I really missed you this year at our Thanksgiving table.

Rick, We have been together for 26 years now and will soon be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary.  Thank you for putting up with me through the happy, sad, silly and crazy times we have had over the years.  I love you more every day/

Eric   My precious wonderful talented son.  God gave me the best kid in the world when he sent you to me.  You have always been there for me and you are one of my best friends.  I miss you so much but I know you are doing what God has planned for your life. You are a true inspiration to me and those around you. I can't wait to see you again and get my hugs. Thank you for being the awesome person that you are. I love you more than infinity.(Remember that?)

Sam, I thank God that he sent you into Christis life. You were a great husband to her and you are a wonderful Dad.  But more than that you are my brother and I love you.  I am so happy that you have found Brit and that you love each other so much.  I love you too Brit and would like to get to know you better.
