Happy Thanksgiving
“Perhaps no custom reveals our character as a Nation so clearly as our celebration of Thanksgiving Day. Rooted deeply in our Judeo-Christian heritage, the practice of offering thanksgiving underscores our unshakable belief in God as the foundation of our Nation and our firm reliance upon Him from Whom all blessings flow.”President Ronald Reagan, Thanksgiving Day, 1986
The recession is in full swing and it seems like common sense has left the nation’s government, but we still have so much to be thankful for. I’m thankful for all of the liberties that we still have in our great nation, thankful to be living in this country, and even more thankful to be living in the south.
Things may be a bit slimmer this year. There are homes in my neighborhood that will be auctioned off soon and I know of business owners that are struggling and employees that have been laid off. These people too seem genuinely thankful for their blessings rather than lamenting about their situation.
Thanksgiving is a great time of year. I suspect that our table isn’t any different than most. We are surrounded by family and food. It is a nice time to reconnect with aunts, uncles, nephews and cousins.
May your thanksgiving day be special.
