Life as Thank You 37

Dear Alex,

I am writing old school thank you notes each week to let people know how grateful I am that they are in my life.  I know I have been the worst at communication these last few years – and for that I apologize  – butI want you to know that you are NEVER far from my heart, my prayers and my thoughts.  I follow you on facebook and I thank God for his favor on your life.

I am so grateful for the years of our friendship and how it grew and developed from one of my students to one of my confidantes and friends.  Thank you for your intentionality.  Thank you for the millions of long conversations, movie dates, prayers and faithfulness!  Thank you for tolerating my quirks, forgiving my faults and believing the best in me! We certainly have had a special bond (together with Catie) for a long time! Huge blessing!

You have no idea how much it meant to me that you came for Jim’s memorial service.  I am so humbled that you gave me such support when life was really too hard to bear.

I wish I could have gotten to know Max better – and I look forward someday getting that opportunity.  Thank you for allowing me the honor of being part of your wedding day!

I am grateful for your entire family and deeply value the time we ministered together in IL.

May God continue to bless your marriage, your career and your life.  I am so proud of you and I continue to be blessed by you.

Much love,

Mirm
