37 years and counting

My Heavenly Father, Thank You for all the times I get to spend with family, true friends and great people. Thank You for this glorious opportunity.

Thank You for the joy of being able to learn and develop new skills, for good mentors and gurus. I am overwhelmed with this privilege.

Thank You for your daily blessing, for always embracing me back. Your love is always greater and your plans are far better than mine.

Thank You for all these blessings and to the man, whom I may share life with and learn more about Your LOVE.

You spoke and words were formed, You breathed and life was born.
You knew that one day, I would return these all to you. AMEN.
