[Artemisia] Giving Thanks

[SARAH EVELAND]

To All of Our Friends and Family in the Kingdom:

We just wanted to take a minute to let each of you know how thankful we are to have so many family and friends, such as yourselves, who are a part of our lives. This organization is the largest "family" we have ever been a part of and it is wonderful to know how much we are loved. We want you all to know that we are honored to be a part of this "family" and that we wouldn't trade it for the world. 

This is the season to remind ourselves of all that we are thankful for and how much our own personal families mean to us all. Cherish every member of your family, no matter how much some of them may annoy us. We may loose that individual and never have the opportunity to tell them what they really meant to us.

I would like to invite anyone who would like to say what they are most thankful for to do so at this time. Some of the things that may be mentioned may seem petty to some but an inspiration to others.

This year I am most thankful for the time I was able to spend with my mother in September before she passed away. She lived outside of Knoxville, TN and I drove back to be with her. I was there for almost 2 weeks and that is time that I would have never had with her if I had decided to wait a little longer. She left this world peacefully in her sleep in the early morning hours of September 21st with most of her family close by. That time is something I will always cherish and no one will ever be able to take away from me.

Your In Service,

Matthew of Ipswich and Helen Might de Gunthorpe
