My Blessings

I have been blessed by some of the strongest people in the world!

AE – She has given up a lot of her personal needs to mother us. She has taken a strong stance against behaviors that she cannot support. I respect that.

RE – Daily backbreaking labor to support his loved ones, all with a smile and a hug. A wonderful example.

TE – A gentle soul who can commit the strongest, selfless acts that one could ever imagine. Someone that we all should look up to.

BE – An unassuming man who uses his talents to the utmost degree. His unrelenting desire to share God’s Word is remarkable. A trait that everyone should have.

TR – A rock in a seemingly endless storm. Determined. God-fearing. Focused on personal and professional goals. Noble.

TB – Giving, forgiving, loving, and kind. Has had a number of occasions that might cause some to loose faith, but chooses to trust God even more. I admire that.

What a wonderful list of people who impact my life every day! Without these people, I would not be who I am. They have introduced me to God and taught him about His Love. They are all examples of how to use the talents and skills with which we have been blessed. I hope that everyone has a few examples of blessings in their lives and are able to see the beauty in their beings.

Thank you!

I couldn't agree with you more of the list and attributes you listed for them. Thanks for mine...you couldn't have given me a better compliment. You should also know that your story is quite impressive example of a faithful servant...I have used you numerous times within spiritual conversations (as well as our entire family).
