Irgendwas das Bleibt: Thank you

This week I have been thinking of how grateful I am for everything in my life. The people, the circumstances, the gospel, and a host of other reasons.

I also had the ability to take part in a great service activity that took place this week. We had an opportunity to serve military families of all those who are on active duty or deployed overseas. We did a variety of activities including games and babysitting for children of all ages, make-up and hair for the wives, and an awesome lunch. We had great helpers who cared for the children and made them smile and laugh. We had fantastic women who helped do nails, make-up and hair that made the wives of our wonderful service men feel beautiful and loved.

I had the pleasure to make these women cards thanking them for their service, sacrifice, and dedication. I just thought I would share them with you as well. There are so many people who are not thanked for everything they do. I honestly feel most of us deserve more credit than we get. So I thank you absolutely, sincerely, and steadfastly for making this world and the people in it a little bit better.

I would like to thank all those whom I personally know. Thank you to each of you who have played a large part in my life. I am so grateful to have the warm memories, laughter, and inside jokes that I have with each of you. It is people like you that make the world go around, filling it with a little more joy each time it turns. I did not learn the true meaning of friend until I met you. I am forever in your debt for all you have taught me about being a truly good person. Thank you for enriching my life and I hope you know that it is not going to waste. I have tried to share all that I have learned from you each and everyday. Your influence is far reaching and is going to continue to impact the world. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

So I would encourage you to pick your favorite and I dedicate it to all the wonderful things you do and the fact that I am a better person because I have you in my life.
