Thanks

Thank you, dear friend for allowing me to play a small role in your life over 2020. We’ve had a crazy year, haven’t we?

Thank you for keeping your heart open during a time you could have slammed it shut and bolted the door. Thank you for respecting the fact that people’s views are their own, and that we’re all on a journey of knowing God, self and others. I know in many cases when you felt you wanted to push and shove your way into people’s thoughts and decisions, you didn’t. You held back, knowing, that’s not love. 

Well done.

Thank you for loving people so well—your siblings, your parents, your spouse, children, coworkers and even your enemies—even when they completely disagreed with you. Thank you for remembering, “God is over all and in all and working through all” and that God allows all kinds of crazy things to occur. Thanks for remembering you cannot care more than God does. 

Thank you for staying engaged in discussions. For not being a jerk on social media. For not writing people off or walking away from it all.

Thank you for staying the course. 

Thank you for fighting a good and worthy fight.

Thank you for being creative, resourceful and for persevering. Thank you for hoping. Thank you for encouraging. 

My life is better because of you.

Happy Thanksgiving.
