I
am thankful :
to
God for whatever talent and
inspiration
I have to design web pages
that
speak to so many and help them
in
ways I know not.
for
God who has led me this far and
whom
I trust will allow me time
to
finish the tasks He has set forth
for
me to accomplish.
for
being able to listen to the Voices
that
direct me in all that I do.
that
hurricane Georges
didn't
do more damage than he did,
and
for the friend who told
me
about her cousin who
has
helped put my house back
together
again.
for
my Internet family on AOL
who
listen to my troubles,
my
joys and my fears.
for
the Prayer Angels of AOL
who
are a Circle of Friends
joining
hands and praying for
those
who are in need.
for
my family who loves me and stands
by
me in spite of my ornery attitude
during
these times of stress.
for
my daughter, my Angel who takes
care
of me and has sacrificed so
much
to do the physical things
that
I can no longer do.
for
my husband of 38 years, who
has
been patient during my
recent
illness even when he
himself
is unable to accomplish
all
that he wishes he could do.
for
my Doctors who have tried
to
treat me even when my body
has
a will of it's own.
The
Cajun is Ornery.
for
my friend and soulmate who
is
no longer here, but remains
in
my heart forever.
for
my Mates on AOL that I host
with
in the Genealogy Forum
of
Golden Gates. We do have
a
good group of dedicated
men
and women who believe in
the
Genealogist Creed......
If
someone helps you....Pass it on!
for
my Acadian cousins who come
to
chat each week and help me learn
of
my Acadian Heritage. We pass a good
time,
no? Cajun PaPa, our mascot
who
is a toothless gator, and
surfs
the 'Net for Acadian sites
and
eats spam mail is one
fine
fella!
for
America, the land of the free.
I
am proud to be an American.
for
the miltary men and women who
stand
on the front line every day so
that
I can be free.
for
the policeman on patrol; for the
fireman
on duty; for the nurses in
the
Emergency rooms at
the
hospitals. For the paramedics; for
the
workers that pass it on down the
line
from the planting of the seed, to the
harvest,
to the cashiers on the
registers
at the check out line.
for
the crisis workers who every day
reach
out and hold the broken and
battered
women and children who are
victims
of rape and domestic violence.
to
the dedicated care givers whether they
be
family, friend, or Hospice worker. Your
helping
hands are blessings to those
that
are ill and suffering.
I have
many things of which I am thankful for.
I
could continue naming them one by one
and
still not have a complete listing.
God
has blessed me in so many ways
and
I can only try to give some of His
love
back to my family, friends and
those
people who cross my path.
Walk
in Peace and in Sunshine.
You
make a difference in someone's
life
and are special.
When
you see with your heart,
you
don't miss a thing.
Happy
Thanksgiving and God Bless.
May
your time with family and friends
be
one of joyful fun and fellowship.
Acadian
Rose
