Thanksgiving is the time of the year we give thanks for our many, many blessings. Most of us don't think about the meaning of Thanksgiving.

To most of us it's a holiday we don't work and we share with our family and friends. We enjoy lots of turkey baked or fried, a big ham and football all day long.

Our forefathers set aside this day every year to give thanks for their abundant crops. They celebrated with a meal of wild turkey and vegetables they raised and a prayer of thanksgiving.

I might add that my parents were share croppers and farmers moving from county to county while raising 12 kids. Me being the last child.

In today's world, most of us don't raise crops anymore and very few have home gardens. We earn food, clothing and shelter by providing a service to our employers.

Let's not forget those less fortunate than us and share the thanksgiving day and prayers with them that we may get more blessings as we grow older.

Let's all say a special prayer for those families with loved ones serving in the war zones. You are all in my prayers! :Starvin: :deal:
