Thanks from The Schuster Center

By Chris Ellison

It is at this time of year that we often take time to think on those things for which we are thankful.  Our list usually includes family, friends, our home, our careers in dentistry, etc. And it is true that I am thankful for all of those.

However I would like to take this time to express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work and interact with you, our clients, our friends.  It has been my privilege for the past twelve years to coach, teach and befriend hundreds of you.

When I accepted this position at The Schuster Center, I never dreamed the impact it would have on MY life.  You see, every time I have an interaction with one of you, it affects me personally in some way.

I have often told those of you whom I have been fortunate enough to coach that I learn as much from each of you as you do from me.  I have been blessed with friends that will be life-long friendships.  As with the Pilgrims and the Native Americans, there are sometimes great cultural differences between us.  But we have been able to see that we can learn from one another in spite of those differences.

I just want to say to each of you and to Dr. Schuster how very THANKFUL I am for the gift of working alongside each one of you to bring you to a place that you and I can celebrate.  May I continue to see and acknowledge how blessed I am for the beautiful people that The Center allows me to guide.

“Thankfulness is not something God gives us. It is not a spiritual gift and it is not a spiritual fruit. We can receive God’s peace, joy and love, but thankfulness is something that we give to God and to others. It is a choice that we make. Let us thank Him today with songs of celebration, hearts of strong devotion and acts of admiration.” —Roy Lessin
