Thank you Heavenly Father, for bringing me this far. For giving me the ultimate gift of forgiveness, through your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. The gift I can never repay.

Thank you to all who are in my circle-of-life, and to those who have crossed by path. Giving me words of encouragement, a pat on the back, a shoulder to cry on, a hug to lift me, a kiss to greet me, a smile to make me smile, a thumbs up to give me hope, a spiritual word to enlighten me, a ear to listen, and most of all, your love, to say you believe in me.

I say thank you to you, for your gifts to me!
