  Thanksgiving is a great day to not only count our blessing but to also give thanks to all that made it possible. From the food and turkey growers to the grocery companies and don’t forget to thank yourself for the things you do to make it happen.

It is also a time to thanks those around you, friends and family, no matter how eccentric they are, that are showing you that they are care full. Full of care for all enough to spend time with you.

For those that are caught in one of societies pockets of the care less, please do not despair. The world has billions of good people and sometimes we get caught among the care less who are so miserable that they want to spread their misery.

Forgive them for most are lost bringing to my mind:

Jeremiah 13:10: This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, who follow the dictates of their hearts, and walk after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be just like this sash which is profitable for nothing.

And Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Rejoice that you are loved by Jesus our Lord and God his Father and have learned this lesson so that you can now find people like you that are kind, caring and generous in the mean time give thanks for the wonderful things you have.

Some advice from a friend who endured and survived the entirety of the holocaust; Never suffer alone, just seek the care full!

God Bless, Be Peace and Be Well

Happy Thanksgiving
