Thanksgiving is a great holiday!It focuses our minds on our blessings rather than on our problems.
It makes the heart glad for what we have been given,
and it takes our minds off the burdens we all have.
Thanksgiving recognizes the giver as well as the gift.
It keeps it on the positive side. In life of plenty and prosperity
we seem to take everything for granted. How appreciative we should
be for our blessings and what a wonderful thing is a holiday
which focuses our attention on them. Thanksgiving is therapy
we all need to keep cognizant of the blessings and the beauty of living.
This year let's set aside a few minutes of the holiday to sit alone
and think of the many things for which we should be thankful -
then this great holiday will have true meaning for us.

Mom had another rough day today. In bed most of the day.
Her ribs are giving her much pain, both sides.. her right from
the fall she took on Sunday, and the left from the cancer..
She is for the most part, weak and wobbly on her feet,
but ah, SHE IS SO DETERMINED! : )
And her confusion continues, but then we've been told
that it is where the cancer has gone to her brain ; /
"God Bless and Comfort please and thank YOU!"
Above all, THY WILL BE DONE

In The Fitting Room!My girlfriend took her five-year-old daughter shopping with her.
The little girl watched her mother try on outfit after outfit,
exclaiming every time, "Mommy, you look beautiful."
A woman in the next fitting
room called out, "May I borrow your daughter for a moment?"

The great love of God often comes in small packages.

[The Lord] will bless everyone who honors him,
the great and the small alike.
