Being THANKFUL!

Wow.  It's been a long time since I posted here.  Time really does fly when you are having fun.  Alot has happened since my last post.  As opposed to ranting about current events, I thought I would just start a list...a thankful list.  I am THANKFUL for...

• ... a god who saw value in me, enough to send His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die a cruel death on a cross in my place.
• ... a loving relationship with a woman who is my best friend - my wife, Jennifer.
• ... 3 wonderful and healthy children, who have grown into very lovable young adults. Jonathan, Jessica, & Jeffrey.
• ... a soon to be daughter-in-law who I gladly accept into my family - Jennifer Young
• ... a friend who has sacrificially served multiple times in war zones so that you and I can live in freedom - Randy Godfrey.
• ... for parents who provided and sacrificed for me, even when times were difficult.
• ... family, friends, and acquaintances who have made me a better person just by being a part of my life.
• ... all those who have served, fought and died in our nation's military.  YOU ARE THE BEST!
• ... the talents and abilities God has given to me so that I can provide for my family.
• ... the country in which I reside and the freedoms and liberties it provides.
• ... adversity.
• ...

I could continue for  hours, but must get back to work.  Maybe I will keep adding to it.
