A Few Inspirational People God Put In My Life!

Who are some inspirational people God put in your life?

Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

We all have inspirational people in our lives. They are the ones who uplift us, guide us, and teach us valuable lessons. For me, one of those extraordinary individuals was my mom. My mom was very special she wasn’t just a mother to me; she was also my best friend. Her love knew no bounds, and she would do anything for me within reason. But what truly made her special was how she exemplified a life dedicated to Christ. Her actions and words taught me invaluable lessons about faith and living as a Christian. Yet amidst this admiration and gratitude for these inspirational people in our lives, it is crucial to remember not to elevate them above God himself. As much as we may cherish their presence and impact on our journey, even though Sue Sauer has been an extremely big influence in my Christian life, but only the Lord deserves the highest pedestal of reverence.

I Am Very Thankful For My Mom And A Number Of Other Inspirational People Who Played Significant Roles In My Life! Sue Sauer Stands Out Among Them ~ A Guiding Light During My Divorce ~ Who Provided Unwavering Support And Deepened My Understanding Of Jesus Christ’s Teachings. Each Person In My Life Has Been Inspirational In Some Way!

Moreover, I cannot overlook the profound influence of two remarkable men—my brother Tom Greguska and Mark Mallwitz—who helped shape me into who I am today by imparting their wisdom upon me through various experiences shared. In reflecting on all these exceptional individuals who have touched my life so profoundly, I am grateful for their inspiration and encouragement along the way. Now it’s your turn—take a moment to think about those inspirational people on your own.  Who are some inspirational people in your life? ~ Bill Greguska
