Rep. Allen Peake: A Grateful Heart, With Many Thanks……

Your Thanksgiving Desk

Thanksgiving thoughts………

Many times, we learn the most gratitude for the blessings in our life from the tough times that come our way.

This past year has brought challenges that I have never had to face before in my 53 years, as many of you probably have also.

So, as we pause this week for Thanksgiving, please know that I am thankful to many of you who encourage me, challenge me, and stick with me, even when we may come from different walks of life, or have various perspectives of answers for problems in our society.

I’m so thankful for family and friends who love me, and who laugh with me, and at me, in spite of my numerous faults that are too many to count.

I’m thankful for business partners and employees that help our little restaurant company continue to chug along, providing good jobs to over 1,000 Georgia citizens.

I’m thankful for colleagues in the political world that have become life long friends, and who almost without exception, care deeply about the future of our state.

I’m thankful to the HB 885/HB 1 families that I have come to know, love, and profoundly respect. Families that face challenges everyday that no one can understand, and do it with courage, perseverance and compassion.

I’m thankful that while I am chief among sinners, with more mistakes in my life than I want to admit, my guilty stains are washed away by the Blood of THE Lamb.

Happy Thanksgiving my friends,

from a grateful man…….
