I can truly say I can't even begin to count all the ways I have been blessed.
It's hard to live it but one must also remember James 1:2&3 "Brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." Joy and blessings even in trials. WOW. Like I said, hard to live that one.
Don't know that you were around, last summer we took all the kids and grandkids to OR to celebrate my parents 60th anniversary. Had a great time with all of them together.
Our oldest son has worked with us for almost all of the past 20 years. First in the welding shop and now as a CWI. Our youngest son is taking classes with Darrell and I to get certified as an MT and UT tech. Darrell and I have our Level II MT with a Level III we do a lot of work for and another one who is my company retained Level III. Darrell has his UT through the first guy and we are both about to get our certs through our own company so they will pretty much be good on all jobs we do since we work mainly on contract.
Bottom line: unusual and good working relationships with our sons. It has been very good.
He Is In Control, Have a Great Day, Brent
