Above all you were always there living Godly lives before us. Not perfect, infallible people, but honest hearted, dependable, God loving role models. Each one unique and different. All coming together to help mold our lives. Role models to others as much or more than your own. Little things that mean so much that you have done or said are in the fore front of our minds. I know life sometimes leaves you feeling like you’ve failed, but satan’s trickery could never be more wrong. Even though its human nature to look at your failings or shortcomings on the outward appearance, but through the love of Christ that you’ve planted in us, we are looking at your heart in a way. Your forgiving heart. For when we were wrong you never upheld us, but you lifted us with love. When we were weak, you were strong. Encouraging us with simple, but powerful words like, I love you, I appreciate you, we missed you and don’t give up. And when we were far, far away we knew you were somewhere on your knees praying for us. Lifting us up before the lord. And with tears in your eyes you let us know that there is a reality in serving a true and living God. Driving home to us that your faith in God was no ritual, but a way of life and that way of life, almost unconscious to you at times was making a powerful impact on our lives and the lives of those you encountered. We thank you from the very bottom of our hearts for all you are and all you mean to us and for all you’ve done for us. Of all the acquaintances we’ve made in life and will make there’s always been and always will be a special place in our hearts just for you, because God chose you to fill that space. So, thank you all for being the wind beneath our wings. Thank you all for caring for us. Thank you all for the tears you’ve shed on our behalf and for the prayers. For all of that and much much more, we humbly and gladly salute you all today. We love you so much! We appreciate all the Christian seniors of America.
