Do we really give thanks?

Many countries do not celebrate Thanksgiving, but it has been a great tradition in our country. Many times, it is upon us and we hardly have time to catch our breath. We hurriedly try to buy groceries and prepare the food or throw some clothes in a bag and jump in the car to go visit relatives.

Reflections

It’s that time of year when our thoughts turn to cooler days and our traditions at Thanksgiving! Let’s take a moment and thank God for the beauty of the places where we live in the Big Bend area. We see fantastic sunsets and gorgeous sunrises.
