What Louise said!
Thank you so much for all your encouragement this year.
Love and hugs to you and your family. Plant a kiss or two from me on that grandbaby.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for including me, Glynn. A wonderful round-up.
May the blessings of Christmas be yours, and may the New Year bring joy.
Glynn-
Thanks for including me here. But mostly, I thank you for your gift of encouragement. When I think of you, I think of Barnabas, the one the disciples called Mr. Encouragement (Acts 4:36). Barnabas is no small biblical character, and - just like Barnabas - you shine big here.
Merry Christmas, Glynn!
I echo the other comments, dear Glynn. You're a true encourager, the aroma of Christ to all who cross your path. Thank you. Have a beautiful Christmas, friend.
Love, Jeanne
Merry Christmas Bro'...many Blessings on you and your family!
Wow, what a list. So many great people and posts. I appreciate your including me. Thank you, Glynn, and merry Christmas.
Glynn,
Thank you so much for all you do! I hope in this season you find the same measure of blessing you provide to so many others. You have a great, admirable heart. It's a privilege to know you. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
My deep respect for the gift of encouragement you offer to so many and great appreciation for all that you are.
Christmas Blessing to you and yours.
Oh, my goodness, I have to go read that article by Scott Cairns! Thanks for this wonderful collection, Glynn. And, merry merry Christmas :).
