We are told those who brought Western Civilization to these shores at the price of impacting the pre-existing Western Civilization [we are rather oxy moronic as a culture] brought as well a foundation of gratitude as they sought release from oppression both religiously and societally. Life was intended to be and has become a realization of the expression of myriad faiths within one land. In this I am grateful, for we did experience a wondrous day of time with family realizing our BLESSINGS and the source whence they flow.
Equally wondrous for me was still another person to person sharing of a story of life beyond intractable pain because I have the benefit of the Blessing of my Boston Scientific Precision Plus SCS, a gem of technology which has aided my quest to be free of pain management medications and realization of the resumption of my career. Surely, God also blessed us with the invention of the pain products my family now manufactures and sells via the company we founded having been inspired through pain by grace. This, too, has begun once again to compound our realization there is a silver lining to the pain ridden dark cloud of agony.
So, we celebrated giving thanks and expressing gratitude this day,
I know I do it almost to annoyance here, and yet,
it is this spirit of gratitude, shared with whomever will read or listen,
which passes the message of "Yes, there is life beyond the grief of pain"
to as many as will have it come before them.
Thank you all for receiving words meant to confer hope....... and through hope, peace.
Prayin for you all,
Mark56
