We have so much to be thankful for!

It's amazing that when you really think about it, everything that you have is a gift from GOD and that we should be utterly thankful for it! I have gotten a bit side tracked with this loss of job and car situation lately, but... it's not the end of the world! In fact, I will bounce back and be even stronger as a result of these trials and tribulations.

I am so blessed to have two wonderful children who I adore to the moon and back as well as a beautiful and caring wife. My parents and brother's family and kids are all great! I have so much to be thankful for!

I am glad that I can play tennis, I can walk, that I am not in a wheel chair! That I personally got a second chance in life after my aortic disesction and that GOD allowed me to live through it. I am so lucky and appreciative of my many gifts from GOD.

Being an aoritc dissection survivor, it's easy to get side tracked and look at the world as gloom and dume, but that's not GOD's plan for us! We MUST keep moving forward by FAITH that the GOOD LORD's plan for us is working each and every day within in us and he's fine tuning us to be  the best that we can be!

I was taken my 12.5 year old daughter to church on Sunday and she looked so beautiful, but I didn't tell her that. I couldn't muster up enough guts to say that Olivia, "you are so beautiful" and I actually said something to her later that day. But, I SHOULD HAVE told her right then and there. I noticed she even had on a tiny bit of make up and was wearing her contacts and WOW!!!! How beautiful she truly is! I love her always and forever with the "agape" love that Christ has for us! The most powerful form of love! My son too! He's so handsome!

Bye!
