Happy Thanksgiving to all of yall,

I know everyone will be blowing up facebook with thanksgiving sayings and thanks so im going to put mine here.

The first thing is the thanks that I have towards God , without him all of the things I am thankful for would not be possible. Thankful for the continued love and belief in me even when I get in my own way. Grateful for the path that he has for me , on his time, and for the many blessing along the way.
For my family, Shelby, Michaela and Jordan, for someone who did not even imagine a family 15 years ago to being able to wake up every morning with them close.

Three plus years ago when we started on this path for The One Project I did not have any idea what trying times we would have , lack of funds, loosing the house, two cars and a camper, the stress and sacrifice that each of us in my family would have to make along with day to days worries and fears.
As i look back on all of this I see that God was with us the entire way and continues to be every day. His love and guidance has carried us and given us strength to keep on his path. I am not saying we havent strayed and tried our own things but he allows us to do that and then redirects us back. He does this with a whisper, a thought , a prayer and most of all with all of you.

Yes all of you , the next thing I am so thankful for. The love and support that starts with our immediate family , our folks and siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles and then you. I cannot tell you how many times I might be going through a tough patch and one of you simply say something supportive or so very relevant to what I am going through and most of the time you dont even know it and it puts me right back on track. This entire vision is supported but God and Yall and Shelby and myself are so thankful for that. We see everyday the progression of all of our efforts and cannot wait for the next day to bring something more.
I am thankful you all forgive my querks and short commings and love my family for who we are . It is difficult to find that in todays society but as we grow I hope and pray we can change a little bit of that in our community.

There is probably not enough memory in my computer to name everyone individually and I hope you all know who you are for all you do but THANKS.

Tommorow we are all supposed to get together with friends and family and be Thankful , I cannot help but think of those who dont have a group to join and pray that God will bless them in his way to feel at peace and also realize that he loves them, I have realized that no matter what material things are taken away, no matter the balance in ones account that the love of God, family and friends can carry anyone through anything.

From my family to yours, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and may God continue to bless each and everyone of yall like HE and yall have blessed us.
