One more post of your Dad's:

This year I am thankful.
I am thankful for the love the Lord had for me and my family.
I am thankful that we can come together and celebrate the birth of our Savior, without whom I would not be assured of the promise of tomorrow in the presence of my Lord.
I am thankful for the love of my wife of 47 years (I married her as a young child), who has supported me through good times and bad, slickness and health , richer and poorer.
I am thankful for my children, children in law, and especially my grandchildren. Each generation is getting better.
I am thankful for the great friends we all have, who would grab a bucket to fight Hell Fire if I needed it.
I am thankful for all the people who were in need, and allowed me to help them.
I am thankful for the men and women who gave their all to protect me and my family and my friends and all those I don't know, without regard to race, religion, politics, gender or any other thing that can divide us. And to the ones who served and came home.
I am thankful to live here, at this time,in this great country, on this wonderful earth circling around a bright warm life giving sun.

Oh hell, I sound like a preacher's kid saying grace at Sunday dinner, but through the turmoil and the confusion that has engulfed us these last few days, I have come to recognize again the hand of the great Architect of the universe.
With His compass and square, His level and plumb bob
He opens and closes the day, keeps the tides regular and sets us out to do His work.
Merry Christmas brothers (and sisters)

I Love you all.
Judge.
