AFTER-THANKS

Thoughts For Today- Saturday-11/26/11

SATURDAY! You are lying in bed, your eyes open, they flutter, then open wide,, you sit up, get your bearing, stand, put on a rob or whatever, go get some coffee(that's me) or something to wash the sleep out of your mouth,, you stretch,,, you yawn again , and again, then you realize,, as you reclose your eyes, and say,,, wow! God thank you for that great night of sleep, and thank you for this new day,, and the opportunity to have another ,,,, to serve you with each minute of it.... now folks ,,that's the way to start a day,, and of course there are others.. but this morning,, this is the one I pick,, which one did you pick,, all that matters out of this pick,, is did you state ,,, to serve you with each minute of it! Well?

AFTER THANKS!

Well, there are "aftershocks" from earthquakes,, why not "after thanks" from Thanksgiving? I am thinking,, of how we all treat each holiday.... We start walking toward a holiday easy,, with all kinds of plans.. then as it gets closer,, we start to build up a little steam just a little faster,, with each day.. until we realize it is only a few days ahead,, and then clear the road of life, for here we come,, wide open, faster that the speed of sound,, we are approaching landing, and sometimes we do crash... and then we just make the best of the best... ha.. but that is an American with moderate to wealthy means... must out do the last holiday,, why? for someone might visit and you want good tidings to go out to all they see, or someone might just come by your house and the more the cars. the better,, might even be tempted to go rent a few... yes I am over doing this site, but why? Just to show that when it is coming we work to make it work,, to the fullest.. then after the sun goes down on that holiday,, it is the usual... most of the time....
"I AM SURE GLAD THAT IS OVER, AND DONE WITH,, DID YOU SEE WHAT HE OR SHE DID, OR SAID?"...
Yes, guilty from all... right after the good times, the good feelings,, the "after-thanks" kicks in... yes they do.... unless you really and truly took or invited God to your holiday,,, and kept Him with you later,,after the day,, and right on into the rest of the days.... for this Thanksgiving,, I received more blessings, than any one could deserve,, surprise visitors, whom I really and truly care about, a phone call of wonder to me... and the thoughts of all my relatives.. and guess what ,, we didn't beat up too many.. ha... where are we going with this today... it is just a reminder, that we just came out of a holiday,, and headed into an even greater one,, and already,, on T.V.,, I see the not walk slowly, but the bull rush of some looking for bargains, some for greed,, maybe you don't see it.. but stop, look, and go into this one coming,, with humility,, love of the reason,, and that is the only reason for this coming holiday of Christmas..
I hope all of you read into what this was all about this morning.... by re looking at your

AFTER THANKS!

God, thank You for these days and times of holidays for us,, and may we realize that we celebrate you each and every day... and that is more important of all holidays to us... thank You God for life its-self. amen

Sometimes, we all get off the track , but thank God,, He can "re-track" by just a prayer to Him,, if you are of track, and need to get back on, try it,, that is prayer,, it works... I know for He has His hands full just "re-tracking " me.. Have a great day.. and don't forget to pray, at least once a day!
