Deep Thanks

I am thankful to almighty God who has been so amazing in my life.  The gifts and the challenges all come together knowing that they are governed by your love.

I am thankful to my family, friends, angels and all those who are hanging on for waiting on the Lord.  Sometimes the gifts look like they may be delayed but they are on the way, arriving at the right time when God's Love is most needed to arrive in our lives.

I am Thankful for my family, some of whom are near but we will not be seeing today.  I think about those who we lost this year, and I am just thankful for those who are still with us to share moments of love  (and trial) with us.  I am so appreciative for all those who are gone and thankful to almighty God that he touched my life with their Love. Their presence in my life is missed but also is indelibly etched and interwoven into who I am today.

I am thankful for my wife, who bears with me and a whole lot of things that just do not make sense.  Thank you for not giving up on life and love.I thank God for the individual gifts my three boys bring into my(and our family's)  life.  I urge each to give God a place in your heart and he will repay you endlessly.

So many beautiful, wonderful people have touched my life.  I am thankful for them, their companionship, faith, loyalty, time and love. And for those people who touched my life with less them love, I forgive them, and wish for them to realize that Gods love is present today and every day for them.  If I have hurt you, I am sorry, I am not perfect, I wish you love and you certainly deserve to be treated wit the love and dignity of God's special child.

I mourn for all the victims of violence, and that would be all of us.  Some are touched in a profound way at times, and I  ask and am thankful for God's healing touch. When God's love is fully realized, we can be even more thankful and filled with love and peace. Thankfulness is one of the doors that allow love to enter our lives.
