                             Can you tell me what it is all about???


        This article is not about three words...


                 This article is not here to say hello...


                         I am not typing to cheer you up...


                             I am not typing to bring you low...


         No good evening friend am I ...


                  Nor morning wake up shout...


                         It is not what I didn't get...


                             but the blessings I have received...


                                                                                     that this is about... 


 


With all the hopes,


        all the dreams,   


                and fondest wishes of my heart,


                        that I have never reached...


 


None compares to the few rich blessings


        I have been granted...


               Can you guess what they are...

Peace of mind is the ultimate gift you can give yourself, and it allows you to offer it as an example to others.

Our lives, and the option to do good with it, in the image of God the Father, Creator of Heaven and Earthl! And all that has been given to us in our lives, our capability to have family to love, and love us, our friends and many interests, ,hopefully all good, our ability to have choice, and the trust we all value, that has been placed in us by God for these gifts, is worth all the $$$$$$$$ in the world!

I am guessing it is being blessed to be both a father and a husband in a wonderful family, to be blessed by Father in Heaven, and to be able to support them with a new job. God has blessed you richly brother!
