Blessed
I had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving in Illinois with family and it is good to be back home. However, blessed and surprised is an understatement to what I felt this morning as I walked into my office! New carpet, new ceiling tiles, and new paint (a nice brown earth tone) on the walls is what I discovered. There on the table was a card from my staff and eldership, with thoughts and expressions of appreciation that moved me deeply. I was totally overwhelmed with the outpouring of love. In fact as I write this I find it difficult to hold back my emotions. So I say to you all, thank you, God bless you, and I love you for what you have done for me. Also, I special thank you to Larry Zehr for doing so much to make this happen so quickly!
