Thank You

If you did not already know, last Friday was a very special day.  It was the BEST Wishing Day! It was 11-11-11.  So, of course, Anne and i needed to make it a big deal.  We (with the help of Don) baught a bunch of 11 shapped candy--twix and kit kats--to pass out at 11:11am! It was brilliant.  We made an annoucement over the loud speaker and had everyone make a wish.  Everyone who was number 11 on any list was given more candy and their name was super highlighted on the sheets.  Anne made signs to put up around the center just in case someone for some reason didn't hear us talking about Wish Day, all day.  It was a good day!

If you have a facebook, look up the Harry Tompson Center and 'Like' it to see pictures from 11-11-11

Everyone who comes into the HTC is special but there are a few guests who have a very special place in my heart.  These are beautiful people, inside and out, who inspire me. I have so much respect for them and the way they live their lives.  Their courage, love, apprication, and understanding of others makes me step back and look at how i can live my life better.  One of these special people wrote an amazing 'Thank You' note and gave it to me on 11-11-11.  This is part of it:

"...It is easy to say and yet not said. THANK YOU!!! My life is better beacuse you breath the same air as I. That you live and dedicate your life to being a light where only it seems darkness prevailes is a testament not ontly to the size of your heart but also the glory of God and His son Jesus Christ.  Once again, THANK YOU!..."

There is a quote about how there are 'such and such' seconds in the day and how thank you is not said as much as it should be in that time.  This 'Thank You' note reminded me how important 'Thank You' is.  So THANK YOU to all of you aswell.  It is also a convienant time with Thanksgiving coming up :)

Lots of Love
