Thankful

It's been said and it's so true that we have so much to be thankful for.  Family and friends.  Trust in God.  Work and play.  Living in freedom.  And so much more.  Here in So Cal it is a perfect day.  70 degrees and cloudless.  We spent a few hours walking on the beach (our favorite activity) and now are prepping for family to arrive for a wonderful afternoon of fun, food, and enjoying each other's company.  So thankful that part of my family is local and very thankful that my son and his family are together with his wife's wonderful family on the East coast.  All in all, no complaints.

These guys are thankful too.  Thankful to be together.  Thankful that they have families, loved ones, and strangers back home supporting them.  And thankful to be part of the thin line between freedom and tyranny.  We all owe them a lot.  The least we can do is today to offer a special prayer for their safe return and hope that we always have people in our midst willing to lay it all on the line for freedom.  God Bless them all.
