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. Often in the turmoil we do not get time to sit down to really think about the things of life. Like farming or ranching some years are bountiful and other years are lean but they usually have enough to go on. A good friend of mine has had a hard year, his wife was really sick and had to have surgery and she did not recover quickly. Later on he got sick and was in the hospital several times but in spite of those setbacks he was still able to be thankful or thank God. Do we have food, a roof over our heads, health, job opportunities and the list goes on? Many places in the world are in great turmoil and having great problems. Maybe that is even more reason to give thanks for our country. This Thanksgiving Day may it be a day of food, friends, family and relaxing but may it also be a day we can really thank God for His blessings upon us and our Country,(Psalm75:1; 97:12 107:1,2,15,22,43 and Colossians 3:16). See you in Church next Sunday.
