As we close out yet another year and usher in 2014, may we
be ever mindful of the blessings we have been given. Looking back on a year
that was full of challenges, struggles, and new opportunities for those in
Pottawatomie and Cleveland counties I believe we stand stronger now than we did
at the beginning. It is never easy to watch your community struggle through a
challenge like the natural disasters this spring, but the joy of seeing
individuals of every faith, political persuasion, age, and lifestyle come
together for their neighb ors and
friends far outweighs those challenges. I have never been so proud to be a part
of a community that selflessly laid aside their own needs for the good of a
complete stranger. I have never been more honored to play a leadership role
than in helping begin the recovery and relief efforts for those affected.
The amazing thing about New Year’s is it stands for a new
beginning; a clean slate. No matt er
what your 2013 held, your 2014 stands ready to welcome you. No matt er where you are in your life. No matt er what the political challenges are at the
current time. No matt er what situation
you find yourself in today; you are blessed. We are all blessed beyond measure.
Blessed to live in a state with a strong economy that holds common sense family
values dear. Blessed to live in the most free and prosperous nation on earth. Blessed
to simply draw another breath.
So as 2013 ends, pause and take account of your blessings.
Set your focus on the year ahead and charge towards it with a new passion. We
never know what the future holds, but I for one am glad I know who holds my
future.
I am extremely honored to continue serving as your state
representative. Your prayers, thoughts, concerns, and insight are always appreciated.
With God’s help I will continue to serve to the best of my ability. Please feel
free to always contact me at my office or stop me and chat if you see me out in
district. That is why I am here.
Looking forward to 2014,
Representative Josh Cockroft
