Bass Lake - Years Past

Martin Family,

In thinking about Bass Lake being just around the corner, I realize that I am grateful for a lot of things. I thank the Lord for the Godly heritage of our family. I am thankful for great grandparents that absolutely loved spending time with their family and beamed when they saw you, even after a short time apart. I am thankful that my parents, even though they may not have enjoyed it, brought me to Bass Lake year in and year out. The time I spent with my extended family will never be forgotten. I am thankful for those who carry on a long-standing tradition, honoring their parents/grandparents/great grandparents and showing that it wasn't just something to do every summer. Finally, I am thankful for this family. I may not see you, talk to you, or hardly even know some of you, but I know that we have a love that spans those divides to draw us closer to each other and to God.

Love,

Joel Ham
