Thanksgiving Is A Special Time
It's Thanksgiving 2006 and we are hoping for a great holiday season.
11/23/2006 ought to bring 10-15 people into our home to share the joys of
the season.
We have much to be thankful for living in the greatest country the world has ever known and being free to pursue what we wish
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Thanksgiving Day, stand upon your feet. Believe in man. Soberly and with clear eyes, believe in your own time and place. There is not, and there never has been a better time, or a better place to live in." ~Phillips Brooks
The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been
more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.
~H.U. Westermayer
If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would
suffice. ~Meister Eckhart
Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be
careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~E.P.
Powell
So once in every year we throng
Upon a day apart,
To praise the Lord with feast and song
In thankfulness of heart.
~Arthur Guiterman, The First Thanksgiving
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide
the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this
one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude! ~Henry Ward Beecher
Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes
as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow. ~Edward Sandford Martin
