How blessed we are to live in our community!  We enjoy a quality of life in this area that is not easy to find.  We see how people don’t feel safe to even walk the streets of cities across our nation or allow children to play outside in broad daylight.  We often fail to realize how blessed we are to live in a place where you can work and play with a sense of peace and security.  I thank God for the blessings that we enjoy living in our county.  We enjoy those blessings because our citizens believe in something greater than themselves.  You cannot legislate people into being kind to those around them.  No law or threat of punishment can convince a person to care about their neighbors.  Those blessings can only be received when beliefs and values have been instilled within a person.  When people fail to realize where those blessings come from, those blessings are lost.  I am thankful to be able to raise my family and live in a community where people still understand that the blessings we enjoy come to us from Almighty God!  We have so much to be thankful for!
