Happy Thanksgiving!

Yes, and happy indeed describes our feeling of gratitude to God on this day and all days. Grouchily thankful is not really thankful. Thankful with reservations is not all that gracious. But a happy thankful is good for the heart and soul of both giver and receiver. A happy and great Thanksgiving to God and you on this day!

The sun rises over the plains on a new Thanksgiving day of feasting and togetherness. Turkeys are roasting, pie crust dough is chilling, and early morning zombies stumble about the house bumping into things. The pets wonder what all this is about. We do have something over the animals, we get to celebrate holidays. A lot of work goes into the celebration. For some, this is a major workday in their year. Most of us performed some preparation for the day such as shopping for food items, mixing up mixes, and caking up cakes. Okay, not sure about that last one. However, at some point the idea is that all of us sit down together to celebrate the Lord's bounty and give thanks to Him.

Thanks or gratitude is our state of mind today. Thankful for life, friends, family, food, homes, and for God. Let us be thankful with enthusiasm today. Probably a reminder that is totally unnecessary as the holiday atmosphere usually takes care of that just fine thank you!

To God our wonderful Lord and Savior, Thank You!
