HAPPY THANKSGIVING !
Thanksgiving is a very important holiday, especially in the busy lives of Americans. It is a time to kick back and relax, watch a football game or go to a movie, and enjoy a huge feast. It's also time for us to give thanks to our God, for the things he has bestowed upon us and upon this great nation. There is no nation in the world that has more to be thankful for than us.
Eat, drink and be thankful !
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.
Edward Sandford Martin
I’ve so much to be thankful for and if you’ve been following along with my thankful list, you know that to be very true. I’ve found that thankfulness for every thing in your life, does make a difference.
It will be a quiet day here at my house as our family get together was last weekend at DS#6’s house. It’s my choice just to stay home and spend some time just reflecting on all the many blessings of this year.
We have a new layer of fresh snow on the ground this morning. Not a lot, but everything outside is white again. I’ll be staying in and keeping warm.
I hope that wherever you are and no matter what you are doing today, you’ll spend some time being thankful too.
Happy Thanksgiving !
Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace, the celebration of work and the simple life... a true folk festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons, the beauty of seedtime and harvest, the ripe product of the year — and the deep, deep connection of all these things with God.
Ray Stannard Baker

COUNTING MY GIFTS
All that we behold is full of blessings.
William Wordsworth
I have counted at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for 2 years and have now reached over 2000 gifts. On my way now to 3000. I'm not stopping, but will continue on counting. There is always, always something to be thankful for.
2258. for a year filled with blessings from above
2259. for lots of good food and good company
2260. for my good health and that of my family
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in
your loving hands.
Protect them as they protect us.
Bless them and their families for the
selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT's
GOD BLESS YOU !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, thank you, that would suffice.

It's 4:35, and we are still waiting for the turkey breast to roast... I spent the early afternoon at the nursing home and got a late start on dinner. The smell is driving us CRAZY!
Happy Thanksgiving!
