Thank You for your service!!!

My boys are blessed in so many ways. They have incredible men in their lives... strong men, men of integrity, men who are leaders, men who pour into their lives. Today, we want to say thank you to one of those men. We met Mr. Jay at our lifegroup at church. We got to spend time with him & his wife, before they took an assignment to D.C.

My boys don't realize that he has a high ranking, they don't realize that the job he is doing is a very special assignment. They do however, remember a man who poured into their lives. A man who stood at the Bushido "man" table, who had a high five for them & who encouraged them. Mr. Jay, you aren't here for them to say "thank you for your service", so this message is for you. Thank you so much for your service & your dedication to our country. But more than that, thank you for being such a Godly leader & for pouring into the next generation! You are appreciated!
