Happy Thanksgiving

Nov 26, 2009 08:33

Today I am truly thankful. Thankful for my dear sweet wife, thankful for my family, most of whom will be gathering together in one place to celebrate and feast (we are missing a couple couples, but they also will be with family). I am thankful for the essential necessities of life (food,water, shelter, clothes). I am thankful for freedom and opportunity that so many in this world do not have nor have any prospect of every having. I am thankful for God's blessings on me in so many ways, and for his grace and forgiveness when I mess up. I am thankful for the beauty of nature all around me, and the all the critters in it, and the wonderful design that I see in it all that points to the Almighty Creator. I do not believe ,nor ever will, that it all came by chance. The finger of God is too plain to see.

I am thankful for a President who seeks to motivate by hope, not fear, and I pray that he will keep strong. Not as an idol, but as an inspiration and example..."only in America". I am thankful for, and supportive of, our system of government and all it's processes. It is not perfect, but there is so much opportunity there that we take for granted. It is up to us to take advantage of that.

I am thankful for the freedom to travel anywhere in this great land of ours safely, and I am now off to do that myself...to spend a few hours on the road to get to where my family is gathering.

Be safe and sane,my friends :)
