Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year. It's a time to reflect on all of our many blessings. I realize that we should be thankful every day of the year (and I hope I am), but for me, Thanksgiving has always been a very special day with family and loved ones. To name just a few of God's blessings and the things I am thankful for:

• I am thankful for a loving husband and family.
• I am thankful that I can worship as I please in a church that I love very much.
• I am thankful for my pastor who has been a blessing to all who know him
• I am thankful for the country I live in where we are free to express our beliefs and values
• I am thankful that I have been blessed with friends who I can turn to at any time.
• I am thankful that I have a job, a home and food on the table.
• I am thankful that I am healthy (so far).
• I am thankful for our service men and women fighting for our country.
• Most of all, I am thankful for a merciful God who has seen fit to provide all these blessings and too many more to mention.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
