I am thankful for a good job that I love, and is rewarding. I am thankful for my church community. I am thankful for the warm welcome I have received from the pipe community both smokers and carvers. But I am most thankful for God's grace towards my family. My wife and I have walked step by step through very hard times, and very joyous times. Our daughters are amazing women now, who have followed their dreams of working as an artist and a baker. I feel our lives are filled with meaning and purpose, and an overwhelming presence of God. There is much to be thankful for each and every day.
blessings my new friends, and thanks for this thread
