Howdy all! I have been busy with work, which has prevented me from some recent opportunities to share with you. Am I sad? Actually, no I’m not. I enjoy sharing with you, but I enjoy my job also. And you know, I have to agree this time with the president. I didn’t make this job. Someone else did. I don’t own a business. I don’t have a payroll to worry about. I don’t have overhead. I don’t have a store to pay mortgage and insurance on. So then, what do I have? I have responsibilities. I have trust earned. I have my experience, my wits, and my humor. I have my sense of decency. I have my honor, my courage and my commitment to be the best maintenance manager I can be. And again, the president is right. I didn’t make these things. I was given these things by God; gifts from God that I cherish every time I go to work. I have a gift of intelligence; I have the gift of patience; I have the gift of tolerance. Nobody on earth gave me these things. Many have helped me develop them, like my parents, my wife, my kids, friends, co-workers and customers. But God gave me the gifts I have. He has also given me and you all, a place that has offered the opportunity to develop and nurture these great gifts. The United States of America has been the shining city on the hill for over 2 centuries. And we are at risk of losing it, due to man’s selfishness and greed for power and fortune. I have joined the effort to prevent this from happening as you all have. We have had tough times, and glorious times. But our work is not yet over. It won’t be over for a long time. But, there have been, and there will be times that just make you so happy. Those are the moments to rejoice, and be glad for the gifts you have received.
This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. ~ Psalm 118:24
Thank you, Mr President, for reminding me how much I have to be thankful for. And if I may, can I ask for one more thing, come November? Don’t leave too many incidentals behind while you pack.
Take care, God bless,
AND STAND WITH ISRAEL!!!
