Woman that goes above and beyond she Sacrifices continuously for our family And I really I hate to use the word Lucky but I'm very very fortunate I Definitely married over my uh I married Way over and I got the good end of that Deal my family or rather her family and I call them my family as well they're Local to us they're a very large family They're amazing group of people which Have provided us with the love and the Support that we need as a family and It's been very instrumental to our own Family's development my personal family On my side my blood is spread out all Over the United States but I try my Hardest to keep in touch and visit when I can I don't visit enough I was able to Go see my family a couple of months ago In Texas and I plan on making trips as Frequently as I can in the coming year Especially with my family because it Really showed me how as my family's Gotten older and going back to see them How people have aged and it realize it Makes it it's made me realize that we Don't always have time time is something That you know you can't buy it back you Can't go back and get it and and it's Why I think it's so important especially In these moments to be thankful and to Spend time with those that are important To us those that we love I'm thankful That I have my health I recently uh or
Rather we recently had a scare in my Wife's family that someone got sick it Was out of the blue but they've improved Considerably but it was a moment where We saw someone's life almost changed Drastically from a condition that the Doctors could identify and health is Really one of those things that you it Can just change seemingly in the blink Of an eye you can get a phone call that Someone's life has been forever altered Due to some physical condition that they Had no control over or maybe didn't even Know was coming I'm thankful that I have A roof over my head a warm bed and food In the cupboards I've lived in Nations Where those are luxuries for some I Think of the people in Ukraine right now What they're going through these Difficult times facing a very cruel Winter and it just makes me realize how Fortunate I have what I have I'm not Anywhere in a position where we're Having to look day by day to just Survive and I say all this because it Really helps me keep things in Perspective yes we cover the challenges That we're facing and will face on this Channel but for a second I encourage you To take a step back and just take a Moment to focus on the good that you Have may we never take these things for Granted and it's important as always to Keep perspective and to be thankful for
What we have it's easy to focus on the Negative because as Preppers again we Focus on the challenges but be thankful I would encourage you to just take a Step back and be thankful with all the Negativity that swirls around us let us Not lose sight of the goodness in our Life yes challenging times are ahead but We'll make it and again from the bottom Of my heart I want to thank you I wish You all a merry Christmas and I look Forward to Growing with you in this Coming year as always stay safe out There
