Good morning family! Well I just want to tell Danny that he is loved by me and the girls too. Vonda likes to spend her birthday in WVA and we were all worried that we wouldn't get to see Danny. The girls ask every few days how you are doing Danny. It was so good to be with family.Sorry we missed you and the kids Janet. Lonnie and Steve kept us busy :)Thank you to everyone who opened their home to us. The visit was just too short. We hope to make it down at least twice a year so my girls can stay connected with everyone. I just want to say how blessed I am to have such a large loving family. Shawn is happy too that he has the big family he always wanted. It is so awesome to be able to call or text your loved ones when you need a prayer partner or just one for praise.I also want to thank my aunties for coming to visit mom. You all are good for her spirits. Loved the pictures. Glad we were able to see you if even for a few minutes ;) Bobbie it is never too late to start writing God's goodness down for Marleigh. I bet you could fill quite a few books in no time. That is a great idea for any parent or grandparent. Hope you all have a blessed day. I need to get out of the car and scoot into work for now.

Good morning from Virginia!
Danny, I have been waiting for your testimony! In your time of testing, it sounds like you are holding on to God's promises! YEAH DANNY! You can't go wrong! You encourages me, for we never know when it will be our turn to be under fire! I can see Momma smiling in your direction now with that sweet, warm, knowing smile of hers. If she could she would be saying to you, "I know what you mean, He's been that good to me too!" I believe she is in that cloud of witnesses somewhere! She always thought the world of you, never said anything wayward. Know that we ask God's best for you and Trish always.
You have a great memory, or are you (like Santa) keeping a list! Don't knock it, the list thing works for me!! I'm old! For you young ones, WRITE It DOWN somewhere. I'm older now and I can testify that I wish I had written down bits and pieces of God's goodness to me. I would like to be able to tell little Marleigh about His many acts of kindness to me personally. It is like you said, there are so many.
Shawn, it was nice to hear from you! Danny was truly blessed by all you'lls visit that Sunday. He seemed in awe that you guys thought so much of him! We do love you Trish and Danny.
I will add my thanks to the rest, for all you have done for the Treadway family, especially for all you gave to my Mom and Dad. You lived so close and you were always there for them. Some of that is coming home to you now!
Teresa, your Fall Festival and New Years activities are a go at my house!

Danny,
As I sit here at school, tears streaming down my face, I can't help but agree completely with what mom said. And you of all people know what a miracle it is for us to agree on anything. Haha You are definitely reaping what you have sewn. The list of kind acts that you do without even a thought is much longer than the list than the one you just gave. I am one of the many who has been blessed by your kind heart and although I could never repay you for the love you have shown me, know that I love you with all my heart. Your testimony is such a blessing. Just so you know, my NOT making rolls for you was my act of kindness:) LOL
I Love You!
Janet

Danny, wonderful, uplifting testimony! God has provided many Aarons and Hurs to help hold your arms up when you are weary so you can keep winning the battle as Joshua did.
I hope you do not mind, but I copied your post and put it on our company daily message screen. I know it will bless our employees.
I am not close enough to do much for you, but I keep you (and your family) lifted up in prayer.
Teresa, we will not know if we are coming for New Year's until close the time to come as it depends upon work and the weather.

Teresa,
Blain and I will be there and I will bring Baked Burgundy French Onion Soup. Also, folks, don't forget your white elephant gifts. We will be reminding you periodically so start roundin' up some good (yeah, right?) stuff. Please don't buy new stuff...that is not the point of the game...However, if you have some of those...uh...less than desirable gifts left over from Christmas...!!
Danny and Trish, that goes for Blain and I too. If there is anything you need, or need done..just let us know. Speaking from experience, I know that sometimes, you just need to be left alone and we don't want to intrude, so we are here if you need us.
~Rita~
Danny~Thanks so much for making me cry like the big baby that I am. Loved your testimony about God's goodness and yes you are loved by many people. If you guys need anything we are just a call away.
Treadway Clan~ I realize how busy everyone is, especially this time of year but I could use a little more input about New years (who is coming, so I know what to do) and What everyone thinks about our Family Fall Festival. Thanks everyone and I love each and everyone of you very much. So thankful for this family and the love that we share.

Hey, Hey, Hey
Well, Danny, you are blessed & rightfully so. I enjoyed talking with you on our recent visit as I always do. It's only to show you how loved you are by many. I hope to visit with you soon & maybe get some shop time in ( not shopping time, unless we need to go to Lowe's) Congrats on your wonderful kids (Tanner??? Library???). You have a god-sent soulmate. And WHERE'S THE ROLLS AT???
Shawn...
Monica, I too, had to get out the kleenex box! The first thing I thought when I read what you wrote Danny, is that you are just reaping what you've sown! You are a man of few words but a man of action. The list of things you've done for others would be longer, by far, than the list of things others have done for you. God is good and He never fails us. The pic of you and Anita is so good. We love you.
~Rita~
~Rita~
My mascara is running!! Danny, up to this point (as far as the blog goes), you haven't been a man of many words but today you touched my heart and made me boo-hooze like a baby!! Thanks :P I would just like to know "where you gettin' them rolls?" It sounds like they are made with a touch of heaven lol. In reality they probably are and with lots of love as well. Send some more pics our way. Love you
Thanks

DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS,
I KNOW TRISH USUALLY GIVES EVERYONE UPDATES ON HOW THINGS ARE GOING, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD LET YOU KNOW WHAT YOU, THE CHURCH AND GOD ARE DOING FOR ME.

THE LAST SIX MONTHS HAVE GIVEN ME A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW HE NEVER LEAVES YOU ALONE AND PLACES OTHER PEOPLE AND THINGS TO HELP YOU OUT.
I AM GOING TO LIST A FEW OF THE HUNDREDS OF INSTANCES IN WHICH IT WAS A TIME I MAY HAVE FELT ALONE OR DOWN AND HE PLACED PEOPLE TO LET ME KNOW I AM NOT. I AM NOT PUTTING NAMES BECAUSE I WOULD MISS SOME BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY, MANY MORE.

EVEN WHEN THESE THINGS ARE NOT PRESENT IN THE MIDLLE OF THE NIGHT, GOD IS THERE TO LISTEN AND IF YOU TAKE THE TIME, YOU MAY HERE BACK.
CANCER WAS NOT MY CHOICE, BUT I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT I AM TRULY BLESSED MORE THAN I CAN EVEN COMPREHEND. TAKE A MINUTE AND COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES.
IT WAS SAID THAT WHEN YOU HIT ROCK BOTTOM, THERE IS NO WHERE TO GO BUT UP, I DON’T THINK I WILL EVER HIT BOTTOM BECAUSE I ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE GIVING ME A LIFT.
