Overall.. it's been a good year..

Dear God,

Well.. with 2006 coming to a close, I thought I'd come here and give thanks for all the blessings you bestowed upon me and my family. We have certainly been through a lot of changes this year. You blessed us with the opportunity to remodel the house. It's a tremendous feat.. and You have blessed us along the entire way. You have taught us many things, like understanding and patience and tolerance through the whole ordeal. Remodeling the house can really turn your life upside down at times.. but You made it work for us.. and we are so blessed to be able to finally see the finished product.. soon..

You've given me a lot of ups and downs.. especially during the beginning of this year.. but with Your help.. I have learned to overcome them and my life is, for the most part, a much happier one.

You blessed me with an opportunity to attend the Cursillo retreat and found a deeper understanding and meaning in believing and faith.. thank You for that.

You found a way for Justyn and I to work through our differences and learn that through all the hardships You gave.. our love is strong enough to keep us together and work our way through it.. thank You for that..

You also found a way for Justyn and I to rediscover the love that we share between us.. enough for us to be engaged again.. thank You for that..

I'm not going to ask for anything on this blog.. this is simply a thank You for all the wonderful blessings we've all had this year..

You usually know what I ask for at this time of the year anyway.. why ruin a good "thank you" blog entry???
