On this Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for my family and their health. And I’m reminded of how easy it is to take these things for granted. So to all who struggle with health issues this holiday season, whether it be theirs or their loved ones physical or mental health, let us pray for them and be mindful of our blessings, so the Lord will raise up those who need it most.

I am also thankful for the men and women of the United States Military, as they sacrifice, stand guard, and go in harm’s way so we may sit down to dinner this afternoon in peace. Lord keep them and guide them safely home to their families. They are truly deserving of our greatest appreciation and efforts.

And finally, I’m grateful to live in and understand a nation of freedom, where I may pursue my happiness and success of my own accord. Lord may your hand always lay favorably upon the noble beginnings and foundations of this great country, and may we steadfastly endeavor that our children learn of and hold fast to those tenets and values which are indisputable and yet, sometimes so fragile in our hands.

Happy Thanksgiving all, and God bless you…
