Nailed it, saved for "by dad." You meant that to be "my dad," no?
And I thought my 13 operations were challenging, but none were life threatening. IN addition, I spent ten in the military during Vietnam. Lucky are those that returned. I was safely far from there plotting, analyzing weather maps for B-52 flying out of the P.I. and Guam.

You did a great job with your contest entry, Earl. You expressed
your thoughts and feels well. I enjoyed reading your letter. It
read smoothly with pertinent examples of how thankful you
were to God. I liked how you included seeing your mom and
fgrandparents and your son who was serving in the army.
Also, the war in the Ukraine needs His help desperately.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

I don't think you need to worry with your example of a letter to God, you mentioned the contentment and thankfulness to God, your selfless and undemanding prayer was humble and articulate making your petitions clear and concise. Well done, Earl, good luck, blessings Roy
Typo : the same about (by) dad. My?

I don't know why people have givn up letter writing, when it gives us such a good format for gathering our thoughts and counting our blessings. This was a great example of such a letter to God. Nice.

Yes, so many of us have plenty of things to be thankful for, and even those of us who take time out to pray, could find even a few more details to our thoughts if we write them down. Thanks for sharing.

What you "came up with" (your words) is lovely. We don't have to have long and flowery speeches to talk to God. Just to be ourselves, and always faithful. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. I continue to pray for God's will to help our country out. We're in a huge mess. Good luck with the contest.

When I pray I ask you to fill my needs and if you have

time to fill my needs. (This sentence seems redundant to me.)

I know that I have had a spotty record (you can omit 'that')

But You and I fooled them didn't we Lord? (comma needed after 'them')

This work has reached the exceptional level

One never can he sure of voters or how a committee may look at an entry.

Earl,
I thought yours was one of the better entries I've read. It was warm, spoken from the heart and thankful for what He has provided you.

I see no room for change or improvement.

Best of luck in the contest.
John

Virtual six for this precious prayer to God, Earl. You did an exceptional job and we're respectful and honest at the same time. Many that I have read seem to be lacking the awe of a holy God. He is, after all, Lord of Heaven and Earth.

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest.
