JOIN IN THE THANKS GIVING

Thanksgiving is easily my favorite holiday. There are almost no hassels in getting ready. It almost always brings together at least some family to share a traditional meal and to linger long enough to share again with turkey sandwiches on sourdough bread. Unlike other holidays, it is almost unpolluted by commercial hard sell pressures (if you can set aside the xmas frenzy which has been building since late October).

It's a day on which we reflect on our blessings individually, as family, and as a nation. It is a day in which we can express our gratitude for those blessings. It is a good day for prayer.

For me, it has always been a day in which I consider the freedoms which have been obtained and protected over the years by our country's military personnel (even more-so than I do on Veterans's Day, for example).

Mostly it is a family day and a time we can be together and remember how God has blessed us - every one! It is a good day to renew our hope.

May God bless and enrich your life too at this Thanks Giving time.
