Good Morning,
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I just poured a hot cup of Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee and it is time to write.
People in America will gather around tables and feast on turkey, stuffing, breads, sweet potatoes, pie, and express thanks to God for what we have. The list of good things to eat could be much longer but I am sure you get the idea.
Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to Him, bless his name.
As I sit here writing, I for one am also grateful for some of the things I don't have.
I am not addicted to drugs or alcohol. Gambling does nothing for me. I didn't have to watch my spouse pass away this year. I really don't have any bills needing to be paid. I am not in need of a new vehicle. I don't have rockets of war exploding over my head. I don't have an empty cupboard or refrigerator. I don't belong to a church that had to shutter it's doors because of politics. I don't have to wonder where I will go when I die. I received Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord in 1981. I didn't have to worry about any known cancers eating at me last year or today.
So as I am thankful for all that I have, I am thankful for things that I don't have.
God bless,
Marty
Happy Thanksgiving Marty!
