Why I Thank God

Dear Lord,

Thank you for our safe trip to Hilton Head…

even when we never thought we’d get there.

Thank you for the freedom we have in America.

The 4th of July makes us happy…

especially Joe.

Thank you for the oceans You’ve created…

for life, beauty and enjoyment.

Thank you for this vacation that allowed

these hard workers to take a break from their jobs..

and enjoy being a family.

Thank you for the food You provided…

the crab cakes, the filet mignons

and the laughter we shared around the table.

Thank you for the perfect week of weather.

Thank you for the dinner out in such a

beautiful setting. I’ll never forget it.

Thank you for the time we could all share

in the joy of Abby’s pregnancy.

It was really special.

Thank you for Landry’s life!

Thank you for giving me time with Abby

and Christopher. Thank you for blessing Abby

with such a wonderful, caring husband…

that even enjoys cooking.

Thank you Lord for the week I was able to spend

with Hannah and Jeremy.

Thank you for bringing their lives together…

this vacation proved even more…

how perfect they are for each other.

And he's a great cook too!

And thank you for Parker and Kinnon

being there too.

I know… she is a gift from You.

You always know

how to answer my motherly prayers.

Thank you for my husband, Joe.

Who deserves a daily vacation

for how hard he works to provide

such precious memories for our family.

Thank you for his job, his staff and patients.

Lord, thank you

not just for Hilton Head

but for all the blessings You

have graciously given to me

and those I love :)
