Because of God and Others - My town.

I fully recognize that I am where I am today because of God and others. My heart fills with gratitude when I reflect on how blessed I have been by other people. This entry is really for me, so that I remember just how I got to this point in my life.
Just the other night I was sharing with Shelli how rich and secure my growing up was. I grew up in a small town of Swedish people who are the best socialists that ever lived. From the time I was born, I was cared for and given richly to by these people. Many of them were aunts and uncles, great-aunts and uncles, cousins and other relatives..but lots of friends and neighbors invested in me too. It warms my heart to think of the countless things they did to bless me. I first want to share about the people from my town. Another post will be reserved for my family, and another for the wise mentors who invested in me. This isn't coming together so I will finish it later.
