I Am Truly Blessed

I Am Truly Blessed

”Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”
Colossians 3:15

Today is my birthday, and is a day I want to give thanks to God for allowing me to have the life He has given me. God has blessed me with 69 years and so far pretty good health. From the time I can remember anything I was raised in a wonderful Christian family by a mother, and grandparents who loved me very much. They were the kind of parents that watched over me with great care, protected me and most of all gave me love. I could not have asked for a more wonderful family than I was raised up in. Then one day I met the most wonderful person in the world, my wife, Margaret. She was the most beautiful and precious person that God could ever have sent to me. I have had over forty six years to spend with her, and these have been the happiest days of my life. We have three wonderful children and six grandchildren. God has blessed me tremendously during our life together. He has allowed me to earn a good living in health care, which I have enjoyed, and being able to serve others while also raising my own family. But most of all I want to thank God for saving my soul, and giving me the peace, joy and contentment in my life that he has provided. He has been patient with me at times in my life, and has been there in my times of trouble. He has been there to pick me up when I was down, and was there also at my times of joy. He has been with my family and protected them over the years, and now they are all born again Christians. I cannot express enough, the thanks I give to God for blessing me and my family throughout the years.
