Thanks, during stress

Lord, thank you. 
Even in my times of great stress, I must remember to thank you for the many gifts in my life. 
First and foremost, thank you for your son's sacrifice for me. 
Thank you for my wife.
Thank you for my children, even the short time we had Nate, his life helps shape us to this day. 
Thank you for the strength and peace you've given Christy and I to keep getting through each day after the accident. 
Thank you for my family and friends and the strength they give me. 
Thank you for my musical ability. 
Thank you for my brain. 
Thank you for the wonderful balance between being an artist and scientist you gave me. 
Thank you for my current job. It's very rewarding, and I work with varied and wonderful people.

Since hearing of your loss from EBC. I have thought of you and your family so often. I lost my 1 year old son recently to a terrible and horrible disease. I also write a blog. I feel connected to you in that sense and also with our faith. Thank you for writing. I feel I can draw strength from your words. Thank you.
