I was SO excited to see this thread when I opened up CC today. I hope we can save it. LoveNeverFails, you are amazing to start this. We need to rejoice in our brothers who God sent into our lives to bless us in so many ways!
I am thankful for men in general... protectors, providers, leaders and spiritual teachers. How difficult is it to be a man? I am glad that I will never know.
I'm thankful for my dad, who raised me up in gentle love and encouragement.
I'm thankful for my pastor and elders, who stepped up and went to bat for my family when things fell apart two years ago.
I'm thankful for the many men in my church who have become real brothers and fathers to me as a single mother, helping me learn to change a mower blade, install a faucet, build bookshelves and so many other things.
I'm thankful for the men here who've been good friends, full of a caring nature, good company, light-hearted jesting and wisdom. Late night chats, honest talks, humble sharing, REAL stuff. I heart you all!
