Thoughts for Today

TUESDAY! Good morning! WOW! I was not surprised to see all the comments to Veterans yesterday, e-mails, face book,, more positive of a thing for this country than I have seen in a long time,,, and it shows ,, America can stick together,, and we will, until the next election, then I pray ,, that we all make God happy with a choice of a real Christian leader... and you? Have a great Gods day! Prayer Request: Keep praying for help to all those in the Philippines,,, help in all ways to get them back to some sort of normal..and give thanks for our Nation and our good fortune from God this day. A LITTLE TO EARLY,, OR WAY TOO MUCH EARLY! Not much this morning,,, but I can't believe that Thanksgiving is not even here,, and the Christmas commercialism is already in the works! Are the people of this country going to skip Thanksgiving? and go shopping all day? no remembrance of what this country's values are? where you came from? who you came from? why we are falling through the cracks of morally? the "I don't care about tradition, just so I can buy early... and then the real buster of all tradition,,, open on Sundays,, and now more excitement of having some of your "bought" things delivered on Sunday also.... Am I just a little too old fashion, or do I just believe it what I was taught on that little ole farm down in North Alabama.. you know the values of this Nation, and what God gave us, the holidays of family values..? Have they decided to start carving the Turkey at the Malls? Is this special Thursday going to be called by a new name? BLACK THURSDAY, INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL CONE OF FOOD, CALLED "FAMILY THANKSGIVING"? Lord, I ask for all to STOP,,, calm down, enjoy your beauty, your bounty, and have a day of Thanksgiving , to You, and keep their credit cards in their wallet, and their butts in their home , or family homes and enjoy the love of the sacrifices of the yesterday's celebration to give us that day of THANKSGIVING, amen John HIcks Have a great day ,, and remember to thank God for it all,,, before one day, you don't have that day of Thanksgiving of a belly full, and a warm place to lay their head, for some don't, and right here in the good ole USA!
