    HAPPY THANKSGIVING

    Today's Dennis Prager show discussed the proposition of reading a statement from George Washington or something to that effect. The Constitution and Declaration of Independence certainly are good things to be thankful for as to the rights which we are still supposed to have as US citizens. There was also a question for those of different beliefs. Atheists can certainly be grateful for those in the past who enable us to still retain the bit of freedom we still possess. There are some who are obviously hostile to anything this country offers who live here; and I would say many others of our youth today just aren't even concerned or aware of these documents of the founding fathers; let alone anything which scripture actually has to say about thankfulness or anything else for that matter.

    I pray that others had the same sort of expressions offered for each other toward the Lord as I did yesterday at church for our annual Thankssgiving eve prayer and scripture reading service. When we can dwell together in unity; it says something about the local church body as well as our standing being part of the elect church of God.

    Up until now; this holiday hasn't been twisted as much as other ones have been in regard to obnoxious displays and materialism.

    Letting certain elements into the Macy's parade which have been pushed by certain groups has perhaps changed this as of this year; however. We may glibly refer to this day as turkey day; but the gravy train as it were may be coming to an end as to our nation's food supply; however. Other nations (at least Canada) have a different day to celebrate a similar event.

    As the holidays approach; I usually tend to wait until after them to do my most giving; since it seems there should be enough Thanksgiving meals every year on that day. Serving; however and the privilege of us as children of God to do this was discussed last night. I pray this season we can reach the lonely and aged in His love.
