Reading your post really opened my eyes that there is more to Thanksgiving than just turkey dinners with the trimmings. It's a day when we can be thankful for all the blessings that we have received and continue to receive. Wouldn't the world be a whole lot better place if we would remain being thankful and willing to share our blessings with others in other days of the years.Adelinehttp://life-and-leisure.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073819735122435139.post-60764201673590146262011-11-23T10:41:21.031-05:002011-11-23T10:41:21.031-05:00When my kids were little, we all went to the local...When my kids were little, we all went to the local shelter and offered our services on Thanksgiving and Christmas (unless it was the Sabbath), so the regular staff could get a day off. Cooking, cleaning, and serving- helps those who use the shelter- and those that need a day (their holidays, not mine) to share with their families.<br />(We also volunteered 1 day a month with the local foodbank- collecting and sorting...)<br />That's how you teach the young.Cerebrations.bizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273098928740152430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073819735122435139.post-51358730503441439662011-11-23T09:53:19.879-05:002011-11-23T09:53:19.879-05:00Great point!

He felt compassion for him and prayed to God, “Lord, please touch him!” Immediately he felt the Lord speak to his heart,<br /> "I will, if you will.” <br /><br />It is sort of the natural extension of "The Lord helps those who help themselves."<br /><br />Nobody knows how directly God intervenes in the affairs of man, but thousands of years of experience tells us that if we really want our prayers answered, it sure helps to get out of bed in the morning.David Leonhardthttp://www.thehappyguy.comnoreply@blogger.com
