I am grateful......

On Wednesday when I came to work, I was greeting in the hallway by my boss, she said she needed to talk to me....gulp!  When we sat down she told me some startling news about the owner of the company.  You see, I work for a man who is stubbord and hard headed, he likes things his way or you can leave.  For the last 33 years he has built a very successful business and I appreciate him for that.  She started off by saying that he is stable, then proceeded to tell me that the owner had a massive heart attack the day before.  Wow, Mr. Owner had a heart attack?  Unbelievable!  Then she told me the information that she knew.  After a few minutes, I went to my office with a very heavy heart and lifted the owner up in prayer.  I have since prayed about every waking hour for the owner in hopes that he will get well soon so he can come back to work and start bossing us around again.  You never know how different things will be until something like a massive heart attack comes along.

My husband and I talked about the situation and have decided to take better care of ourselves.  You know, the usual, eating healthier and exercising more.  We both also decided to get full check ups to make sure there isn't an underlying problem somewhere.

So now I have a favor to ask of you......please do what you can to take good care of yourself.  There are people in your world that need and depend on you, not to mention love you very much.  Even though I am not related to the owner of the company I work for, it's pretty devastating for us but we still manage to do our jobs to make sure that the company, and his family, are taken care of.

Many blessings to you and your family,
