Got to give credit where credit is due...

Thank Sawyer Brown for this blog title. :)

I credit God with my life and health and salvation and hope and joy and peace...He made me an American and gave me to a wonderful family.

My parents get the credit for following up on God's blessings--life and health and salvation. They taught me the importance of a relationship with God; and they set the example. They also taught me to appreciate and value family.

God and my parents also get thanks for my intellect and passion. For my freedom to think and wonder; to act and to be. Also for my sisters...and that carries through to my nieces and nephews, too. I appreciate the love that fills my life---dad, mom, aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, kids and David.

David, naturally, fills my heart. I owe him so much of who I am, and who I've grown to be. He gave up so much so that I could fill the role I felt called to fill. He is the picture of integrity and my inspiration.

Through David, I have an extended family of moms, dads, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and more to love and appreciate.

I have learned patience, grace, and how to be quiet. I can't take that credit--it goes to God and those who joined me in difficult situations. My dear friends.

I could go on and on...and I do in my prayers; but I needed to write some of it down.

I started to make a list of names, but it made me cry, so that is not included here.

Blessings!

Why do people follow me on Twitter??

I get messages updating me when someone chooses to "Follow me on Twitter." What a crazy thing to do...I neither twit nor tweet...and I don't know any of these people.

It is not a puzzle that I can figure out right now...more important things to do.

Bless those of you who stick with and follow me on blogger!! :)
