When I was growing up Thanksgiving always meant family getting together, turkey, & my mom's great pumpkin pie. Now I am afraid that Thanksgiving sometimes gets lost in our mad dash to Christmas. It sometimes feels like a bother to have this other holiday only a month before Christmas! We should take it as an opportunity to stop & really look at what we have to be thankful for in our lives. So, take a breather on Thanksgiving Day & tell everyone what you are thankful for this year! Happy Thanksgiving!
Be thankful for clear skies above
Be thankful for all those we love
Give thanks for this so wondrous land
And loyal friends who understand
Be grateful for our country
And all we hold most dear
Give thanks to all the farmers
Who reap for us each year
Be thankful for our freedom
To speak, elect and defend
Remember at this Thanksgiving time
To give thanks for a special friend!
