THANKSGIVING 2007
A holiday that combines God, food, and football! Is that the best or what?
Also for families to get together. For naps after Thanksgiving dinner. And for the ladies, shopping on Friday. Early Friday morning.
There's also some basketball on tv as well. And leftovers. Plus Advent isn't far away as well. It's just a mighty good time of the year.
I loved those long weekends as a student and as a teacher. And as a student teacher, though I wouldn't know that first hand having student taught during the Winter.
While I'm at it, I'm thankful for our President. I'm glad he pardoned this bird in the White House tradition, but I'm more glad that he's been our leader for 8 years. I know that may not be popular, but I thank him for keeping our country safe. He has shown great leadership in a lot of areas. But I guess he gets none of the credit for a stock market riding at 1300 slightly down from an unheard of 1400. But I never thought it would ever 1000, so there's more thanks for an improved economy fed by tax cuts.
It frightens me to think who might get elected a little less than one year from now. But I'm a man of faith and I know God will put whomever He wants in office to suit His purpose, not mine. I can and will live with that.
Count those blessings on Thanksgiving. And don't forget the second part of that word.
