Thankful Thursday

Today I am so thankful to my God for allowing me to be here to love and serve Him. He has blessed me in so many ways and I cannot thank Him enough.

I am thankful for my family meaning mine personally and my wife's family. We may be separated by miles but we are still close in many ways.

I am thankful for my health in a time when so many of my friends and extended family are going through painful times suffering loss or some form of illness I cannot remember the last time I was sick.


I am so thankful for Rocky being in our lives. He brings us such happiness and peace and joy. All he wants is to be loved and we have so much of that to give him in large quantities every day. Couldn't imagine a day without him.

I am thankful for my blog friends that I come closer to each day. Who would have ever thought before June that I would know so many wonderful people and have over 60 blogs posted already.

I am thankful that in 18 days my wife and I will finally be boarding the Carnival Glory for a week of complete relaxation.

I am thankful for a new friend I have now in Tanzania, Africa through Compassion International. My first letter to "Jackson" went out this week and I pray it will be a rewarding experience for both of us.

I am thankful for my place of employment. In a time when so many small companies are being taken over by huge companies I work for a family run company and we think of each other like family.

I am thankful for this country we live in that while it seems to be heading in the wrong direction spiritually with priorities that need to redirected it still is, I think, the best place to be on earth.
