Thanksgiving Letter 2012
To my dear friends, neighbors and any others who might read this. I âÂÂm sitting here thinking what IâÂÂm thankful for this year. Sadly, I've made a few gigantic blunders this Year. Hurt people I swore I never would hurt, Said things that weren'ÂÂt kind and been a general know it all at times. (A real pain in the b.. at times). If you have been the recipients of any of these failures of mine, be assured of this,you'ÂÂre not alone. There is not enough room on this note to list all of you. Hence no names and maybe there is one that would say ÂÂHe's not talking about me I prayerfully hope that'ÂÂs you!
So what'ÂÂs to be thankful for? My eyes are getting weak now and I can only read my Bible with a lot of effort and the largest font on the computer. Can'ÂÂt walk that far and my hair is falling out not to mention the teeth. My social security funds run out well before the month does. I sit, think, and wonder but can'ÂÂt seem to get out of my own head... WhereâÂÂs the hope? Where'ÂÂs the peace?
Believe it or not I'ÂÂm thankful for all of these things because it has caused me to think, to think about the only place I'ÂÂve been able to find the hope and peace. I see those around me that are facing tremendous ...Expand for more
challenges & problems. I'ÂÂve seen tremendous healings of illnesses, myself included, deliverance from addictions, family problems healed and repaired. And the list goes on and on. I look at my family and see how we have grown closer and closer through all the problems and the victories. I can honestly say that I love each one more than last year if that'ÂÂs possible. Even long standing issues are no longer important. Not all of our challenges are over but if this last year is any example of HOPE & PEACE, it comes through our Relationship with God. You see there is no Hope or Peace without Him!
We will be giving Thanks for All His Goodness this Holiday Time...Celebrating His Gift of His Son this Christmas ¦But, none of this would matter if we forgot Easter. That was the time we all realize what all of this means. I'ÂÂM SO THANKFUL THAT HE LOVES ALL OF US, and gives us Hope and Peace. My hope is placed only in HIM!
I'ÂÂve been reminded this past year that this Love is for all...no exceptionsâ¦unconditionally,even some you or I may not agree with. I want to extend that same love to you.
To my friends and neighbors and even my enemies May You Be Blessed in all you do. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
I pray for all of you often. Let me know if I can help you in any way.
