Thanksgiving

There's not much to say today except, "Happy Thanksgiving," to all of you faithful readers.

I like that tradition that some families have of everyone at the table sharing that which they are most thankful.  It's always heartwarming to hear children say that it is their family.

Someone we know is more than 40 and expecting her sixth child.  She is joyful.  One of her children made a sign that said, "Happy Family, Healthy Baby."

On one of her Facebook postings she mentioned that one year ago to that day she was getting rid of all of the baby stuff in the house.  Isn't that always the way it is?

So whether you watch the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade which should be stepping off soon, or check out a football game, or take that much needed nap, or cook all day with an apron on, or just wait patiently until someone calls out, "Supper's ready," enjoy yourself and remember why we have this day.

It is to thank God for all of our blessings.  Just as General Washington did in 1777 when his troops paused for a moment in a frozen field to offer their gratitude, and when Abraham Lincoln made it formal many years later -- creating Thanksgiving -- we acknowledge that there is a God and that He has blessed us.

I'll be back tomorrow!
