Happy Thanksgiving! I have a lot to be thankful for this year, but apparently I was too distracted to come up with a strategy for what to do with the blog while I’m gone for two weeks. I see Basil is running around trying to make up the slack, so I’m also thankful for Basil. And for you, the readers… except for a couple of you. Have a fun holiday, and I’ll be back – eventually – writing smart stuff.
Now I’m going to go hold Buttercup. She sure likes crying!
Today is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. It’s a day set aside for giving thanks for the many blessing we have received. Many families will gather together, many good times will be shared, and many meals will be consumed.
But there are people who don’t have families with whom to gather together, who are suffering hardships and having trouble making ends meet, and are cold and hungry. Think about these people. While there are some people that you just can’t help, there are many, many more you can. Find a way to help others as you recoginize all the blessings you have received.
And don’t forget to give thanks for what you have. Don’t worry about what you don’t have. The Good Lord has been very kind and gracious to use, allowing us to reap the benefits of living in the United States of America. Let’s don’t lose sight of that fact.
