Default I love my small hick town.

You know living in big cities has its advantages, BUT I love my small town. Everybody seems to know everybody. Since my surgery I run into people at the (1) grocery story, restaurants, walking downtown that said they prayed for me and happy I am doing well. Before surgery they wished me good luck and said they would pray for me. You know what? I think they really did.

My bug guy (exterminator) was just here to get the key to go spray the house and he sat down and said he and his wife had prayed for me. Even still does now. IS that amazing or what! People In our lives we don't really even think of daily and here they are praying for us. Makes me wonder how many people really care that we are not even aware of. Just goes to show how many people we affect in our lives and how many affect us. I am overwhelmed. just wanted to share. Mattie

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Mattie that is a great testimony to your character. And you are so right, you never know who is thinking and praying for you on a daily basis.

Good for you!

sometimes its better to live in a small town. you dont get lost in the shuffle so to speak. and like rozzy said, its definitely a show of your character and the people in your life that love you. it's such a good feeling.

How nice Mattie. Gotta make you feel good. I too grew up in a small town. I live in a bigger city now but even my work is a close knit family. Alot of them said they were thinking of me. one of them even gave me a small stone that said blessings on it and told me to bring it with me to the hospital. Its amazing how nice people are.

I for one am a firm believer that you can NOT take the small town out of someone. I grew up in the military, but my home has always been right back where I am now. I have the same friends that I went to school with ( every so many years) and I wouldnt have it any other way. And if you ever get the chance to spend some time in a small town, I highly recommend it...the hospitality is through the roof.

Hi Bren,

I dont know anything about Kansas, thats not small townish? I went to Missouri with my husband last year and was ready to move there after the 1st day...except for the snow part! The only snow I have ever seen was the one time back in the late 80's that it actually snowed a little in FLORIDA!

Hey Kim,
Actually I grew up in a small town in Missouri.. and still consider it home. I'm only in Kansas because and I'm sure you might have heard the saying "HOME IS WHERE THE ARMY SENDS YOU" I've been married to a solider for almost 18 years and have lived on military bases in Texas, Germany, Texas, Kentucky and now Kansas.
