FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART… THANK YOU!
My heart is truly full!
I want to take a moment to express my sincere love and appreciation to my Sanford’s Temple COGIC family, my family, and all of my wonderful friends who helped make my birthday so special.
Thank you for every gift, card, song, phone call, text message, post, word of encouragement, prayer, birthday wish, and every expression of love shown toward me. Whether you were able to celebrate with me in person or reached out from a distance, please know that your kindness did not go unnoticed. I felt the love, and I am deeply grateful.
To my beautiful wife of 34 years, Lady Buckley—thank you for pulling off such a wonderful surprise birthday celebration!
After 34 years, you can still surprise me!
Thank you for your love, your thoughtfulness, your sacrifice, and for always finding ways to make life's special moments even more meaningful.
I love you, Lady Buckley, and I thank God for you!
If I tried to call every single name, I would be naming people all night—and I am sure I would unintentionally leave somebody out. So rather than risk missing anyone, let me say:
TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU—THANK YOU!
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for praying for me.
Thank you for encouraging me.
Thank you for celebrating me.
And most of all, thank you for simply being a part of my life.
I don't take your love for granted. Every expression of kindness has touched my heart more than you will ever know.
As I begin another year of life, I am reminded just how blessed I am—not simply because of the things I received, but because of the people God has placed in my life.
From the depths of my heart, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
May God return every act of kindness and every expression of love into your lives in ways that only He can.
I LOVE YOU ALL! ❤️
With a grateful heart,
David Buckley Jr., Pastor
