Hey guys,
I had the privilege of attending the Baccalaureate Service at Twin Valley High School yesterday June 3rd. It was a special occasion, allowing students and family to give praise and thanks to God for bringing them that far. I was blessed to see a few old classmates---David Ratliff, Michelle Cook and Brad Ratliff. It was great to see them, and they all looked great of course!!
All that day I was reminded of three things. 1- it was the day we graduated 20 years ago! 2- it was the day my Dad passed away 4 years ago..... 3-and how proud my sister would have been of my nephew who's graduating.
I guess my reason for this note, is to simply say I love you guys. God has truly blessed my life with an amazing family, wonderful friends, and most importantly his mercy and love. No matter what we face in this life, whether it be the loss of a loved one, a physical ailment, or anything at all....we need to give it to God, he'll handle it for us. He is the only thing in this world that can truly sustain us, and is the only thing that can give us strength when we absolutely have none of our own.
I am so thankful to have grown up in a community like ours, and to have known such wonderful people as all of you. Although we may not see each other that often, when I do see any of you-- I'm automatically taken back to a sweet sweet time in my life. A time when friends and fun were all that mattered, and responsibility belonged only to our parents (THOSE WERE THE DAYS!).
Life is too short to miss the opportunities we're given daily. So for me, on this day, I want you all to know I'm thinking of you and your in my prayers. I love each of you, and look forward to seeing you.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Please email us anytime....we are checking email daily.
Take care and God Bless.... Tammy Rowe Miller
