Well, we hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving! We had a fun day at some friends house & of course ate our fill. We are truly blessed to have our beautiful family, friends, health and the Good & Gracious Lord lighting our way with his bountiful blessings. As the holiday season begins we wish you a safe & magical Christmas season.
Here's an email I received from a friend...it puts things in perspective especially this time of year or at anytime, actually....hope you enjoy it.
If you woke up this morningwith more health than illness,you are more blessed than themillion who won't survive the week.
If you have never experiencedthe danger of battle,the loneliness of imprisonment,the agony of torture orthe pangs of starvation,you are ahead of 20 million peoplearound the world.

If you attend a church meetingwithout fear of harassment,arrest, torture, or death,you are more blessed than almostthree billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator,clothes on your back, a roof overyour head and a place to sleep,you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank,in your wallet, and spare changein a dish someplace, you are amongthe top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive,you are very rare,especially in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smileon your face and are truly thankful,you are blessed because the majority can,but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug themor even touch them on the shoulder,you are blessed because you canoffer God's healing touch.
If you can read this message,you are more blessed than overtwo billion people in the worldthat cannot read anything at all.
You are so blessed in ways you may never even know.
Blessings to you.
