Labor Day-Thank You to Our Workers

Image
By
My friend, Rhonda, a former trucker.
There are many thankless jobs that pay our bills.

 Today I want to honor the truck driver. 

Thanks to the truckers, I can go to stores or shop online to buy products I want. 

 I must admit, other than hearing reminders on Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers of the lengthy process to get those products in my possession, I rarely think of those involved as I happily display, wear, consume, use, etc the product.

 I'd like to thank the truck drivers who sit in a moving monster of a vehicle for hours, moving the very item I want from a factory, farm field, ranch, etc. to the place where I could purchase it. And, of course, I also thank the truck driver who delivers my online purchases to my front door. 

 Dear Trucker,

 Without you I wouldn't have products I enjoy. You sit in your trucks, mostly by yourselves. Entertain yourself with the radio or other audio media. Spend more hours in rush hour and construction traffic, hurdle unplowed snow, wade through rainstorms, and become blinded with mirages on a desert Nevada highway. Your salary keeps you away from home and family for long periods of time. Yet you climb in your rig each day and haul another load for consumers to have the products they enjoy.

 You are a blessing to my day.

 Thank you.
What worker would you like to send a thank you to?

 Congratulation to Ginger Solomon, winner of the drawing for a copy of Terri Blackstock's book, Covenant Child. There will be another book give away next weekend. Stop by and invite your friends to enter as well. I will announce which book will be given away on my face book page:  www.facebook.com/Mary.Vee.Writer

I appreciate the people who work in the medical field and have saved my husband's life many times. Ambulance drivers, surgeons, nurses, specialists, and even the janitors (or whatever they are called now a days) that kill the germs in his hospital rooms. Each one plays a part in the whole picture. We are fortunate to have good medical care in Greenville and Grand Rapids, Michigan.

So true, Kathy.
With my hubby in the medical field, I know he appreciates his coworkers as well.

I would like to thank the postal employees. Hazel Conley was one for about 25 years. Through World War II he stayed on in Detroit. Many people left for manufacturing. The postal wages were frozen and the people who left were making a lot more. He was considered 4H and was not allowed to serve. His personal challenge was to get every piece of mail to the servicemen as he possibly could. Long, long hours especially around the holidays Mona Griffin

Postal employees have brought us many happy pieces of mail in between those bills. Kudos to Hazel Conley.

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

By
Today we welcome author:  Candace Calvert To win a copy of Candace's new release: By Your Side Scroll to the end of the post  to see how to get your copy. Mary Vee here. One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative.     I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share  how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...

Today we welcome author: Andrea Boeshaar Three commenters will win a copy of Andrea's book:  A Thousand Shall Fall Scroll down to see how. Mary here. Andrea has had an amazing journey. One many of us can relate to. Her post below shows her strength and positive spirit. I'm so happy Andrea is visiting with us today. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee and come chat with Andrea. I asked Andrea to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said:  Romance Done Write I didn’t read much while growing up in my family’s suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods .  When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Fabulous Friday Feature-Julie Lessman

By
Today I welcome a well-known authoress, one with a bubbly, energetic personality  and has become a sweet friend:  Julie Lessman .   Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night.  I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. ent...
