I haven’t been as vocal here in the last couple weeks because I have more work than I can handle. November is usually a busy month in that regard, but for the first time ever in a November, I’ve had to turn away work. While I hate to do that, I’ve been working 12-14 hour days every day for the last three weeks.
Thank you, Lord, for all the work, especially since so many are without work at this time.
It’s time for us Americans to learn what it really means to be thankful, isn’t it? These are trying times, no doubt. But they are also times wherein we can learn the true meaning of gratefulness.
So far, 2008 has been a remarkably difficult time in our household due to illness. But it has also been a time for me to know what it means to say, “Give us this day our daily bread.”
I think that as we Americans come to grips with “Give us this day our daily bread,” we will become a more grateful people. That is what I pray for this Thanksgiving Day. It is a hard prayer, but one we must endure.
Be blessed. Be thankful.

Amen brother!
I pray that those who ask will realize from whom the blessings come.
