| The Twelve Gifts I Wish for All of You Happiness. Deep down within. Serenity. With each sunrise. Success. In each facet of your life. Family. Beside you. Close and caring friends. Health. Inside you. Love. That never ends. Special memories. Of all the yesterdays. A bright today. With much to be thankful for. A path. That leads to beautiful tomorrows. Dreams. That do their best to come true. And appreciation. Of all the wonderful things about you. |
| Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of my faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him. |

| Only love gives us the taste of eternity. ~Jewish Proverb |
| I wish for you... Comfort on difficult days, Smiles when sadness intrudes, Rainbows to follow the clouds, Sunsets to warm your heart, Gentle hugs when spirits sag, Friendships to brighten your being, Beauty for your eyes to see, Confidence for when you doubt, Faith so that you can believe, Courage to know yourself, Patience to accept the truth, And love to complete your life. |

| I Am Thankful For... My Dear God, in whom I trust - thanks be to Him! ~~ The mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. The taxes I pay because it means that I'm employed. The clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat. My shadow who watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine. A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home. All the complaining I hear about our government because it means we have freedom of speech. The spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking. My huge heating bill because it means I am warm. The lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means that I can hear. The piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby. Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been productive. The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means that I'm alive. |
