So what am I thankful for? I am thankful for the life the Lord has given me. That in this life I have decided to follow his will and for the many blessings he has given me!  Those blessings are many, and I believe that I won't know them all until I die and Jesus shows me where in my life He guided and advised me when I wasn't even aware of His hand! Of the blessings I do know...

There is Trina, my beautiful wife. More than a dozen years ago, she asked me out, and my life from that day forward has been better than I would have ever dreamed! Thank you Jesus for Trina!

There is Julie, our 1st born. Satan tried to take her from Trina and I, but the Lord had mercy on us and today she is a perfect 5 year old! For all who prayed so hard for her survival - thank you for my daughter's life!! Thank you Jesus for Julie! 

There is Jenna, our 2nd child. So cute yet so quick to be the bully! She must have gotten that fro Trina's side of the family! Thank you Jesus for Jenna! 

There is my extended family. I am so blessed to have a family that likes each other. I can't comprehend the fact that there are blood relatives in this world that don't like each other! Thank you Jesus for my family!

There is my Church. Years ago the Lord gave a small group of Believers a vision! This Christmas, that vision will be completed! I have learned so much from our Pastor over the years! Thank you Jesus for my Church!

There is our store. New Life Christian Stores is a gift from the Lord. He has taken a family that knew very little about running a business, and blessed us beyond what any of us had expected!  Thank you Jesus for our store!

There are our friends. So many of you have meant more to us than you will ever know!  You've been there whenever we have needed you! Thank you Jesus for our friends!
