How thankful are you?, they ask!!!

How thankful are you?  This would be my response if someone would ask me today or any other day of the year as I personally do not need a holiday to remind me of how thankful or blessed that I am.  

So my answer:   I am truly a blessed man.  From the time I wake to the last moment I close my eyes and go to sleep at night.  My children are strong and healthy and I have the great Lord to be thankful for that great treasure.  So again, I am blessed and -- thankful.  I have a beautiful, smart, supportive, humble wife that encourages me every day to be a better father, husband, son, brother and most importantly, a better person.  As you all already know, it was my wife that brought the idea of couponing to me.  I can not put into words how thankful I am to have her in my life.   She is the best part of me.  She's my love, my best friend and everything I ever dreamed about wanting as I grew up to become the man I am today.  Her ideas many times are in line with my thoughts but her efforts along the way allow for such great success in everything we do together and apart.  She is the woman you read about in the Bible.  It was those important words that I read to her when I asked her to marry me that she continues to carry out each and every day that we breathe together.  Our hearts beat and end together today and when we pass.  She is the life inside of me.  She's the first thing I look forward to at the beginning of my day and the last of what I yearn for.  So again, I will tell you each and every day I am truly the luckiest, blessed man in this world to have 3 strong, healthy boys and one beautiful, amazing wife.  

Her love and support for others can be seen in the picture above as we together cooked and prepared hot meals for many unfortunate young children at the Shaw's House in the Bangor area.  The best part of this great gesture is that we again completed something very important in each others lives and we did this together.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that reads this message and I hope that the love that we share for other people will inspire you to do the same for your needed community members.

Be blessed!!!!
