THANKFUL!

This is that time of year we need to be extra THANKFUL.  Have you thanked a serviceman, or woman on this holiday for what they do for us?  I am very thankful that Jesse Cook has arrived safely back from Afghanistan since last Sunday.  We can all breath a little easier now.  But, seriously, some do not make it back and some come back forever changed.  Last Sunday at church they introduced Travis.  A young man from our area who sat his back pack on a mine.  He lost his arms and most of his legs.  They are having a fund raiser for him at Trine University July 24th.  I can even imagine what that is like for him.  He is married and the father of a two year old.  He does have some prosthesis's, but how will they manage?

It blows my mind.  Let's remember today how thankful we are for them and what they do for us.  It takes my breath away when I think about it.  I am so glad we have the Wounded Warrior program.  It still doesn't seem like enough.

I trust your holiday is good, and you celebrate it with friends and family, but let us thank God for being an American, and let us thank God He made people like Travis and Jesse.
