Happy Thanksgiving

While there certainly is much that we can (and do) complain about, today is NOT the day for that kind of noise. No, today I will concentrate on all the good things in my life. Today I will offer up a prayer of thanks to my Lord and my Savior.

I am thankful for my job. A job that I really like, a job that I enjoy doing, a job that I DO get up in the morning and look forward to. I am thankful for my daughters, both of whom are in the Army and I'm proud of them. I'm thankful that the one in Iraq is safe and sound, and the one in Texas is also safe and sound. I'm immensely proud of both of them, proud that they are serving their country and proud that they are making themselves into young adults that make me look better than I am.

I'm thankful for my wife. It's my second (and last) wife, it is the one that I should have had many years ago when I started my adult life. I'm thankful that I found her, I'm thankful for all the insights that she brings to me and my life.

I'm thankful for my friends. Thankful for the times that we've spent together and the times that I've been helped by them and vice-versa; I'm thankful for the times in the future that we have yet to spend together.

Most of all, as stated above, I'm thankful that I'm a child of God and I'm thankful for my Creator and my Savior.

May God Bless all.
