I must start out by thanking all of you that came to our "WEDDED DAY OF BLISS." Trav and I had so much fun at our wedding and were so happy to see everyone that came. I had a really struggled getting all of my thank you cards out and although I believe in time I did get everything out that I had recorded it took me months/years. NO EXCUSE. I today feel really sorry that I didn't show my gratitude in a more timely manner.
The same goes with the birth of little Audrey girl. I honestly have great intentions, but it's almost as if my life in this regard is paved with good intentions. I, in most cases, could tell you what it was you got her or us, or if you came to visit at the hospital or at our house. At the same time all of you that did those things most likely did not get a thank you note. So here I am repenting of my ways and saying...
"THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!"
With the birth of this second baby I VOW to change my ways.
I was really shown a great example from my Aunt Cindy in these past couple of weeks. She is mourning the loss of my Uncle and figuring out how to comfort 6 kids as well as get all their finances in order among 8 million other things. While she is dealing with everything she is FINISHED with her thank you cards for all that attended the viewing, funeral, for all that sent flowers or cards. She is done. She is amazing and I thank her for her example to me. Seeing her do this has truly changed my life and perspective. It was remarkable the number of lives my uncle influenced with his acts of service and love.
Cindy has that same ability. She is a strong and spiritual and humble and faithful mother, leader and example. She is a great role model for her children as well as the rest of the family and people in her life. I love her and thank her for all that she is teaching me by her Christ like example of love and gratitude.
