Good Morning and Welcome to Sunday the 7th day of October, 2018.
One week into October.
The sun is rising in he morning sky and it is light but not sunny bright.
THANKSGIVING
This is the weekend that we give thanks.
We get together with family and friends.
Sharing a meal or two or three.
Sometimes we share a meal of turkey, sometimes ham or sometimes even lasagne.
Cannot forget the pumpkin pie.
It is not about what we eat.
It is about spending the time with family and friends, with loved ones.
Catching up on their latest news.
Being grateful for having them in our lives.
Being thankful for our lives.
Being thankful for the food that we share.
Being thankful for where we live, for this beautiful country – Canada.
It is also about giving back.
It is about sharing that meal with a neighbour who does not have family or loved ones nearby.
It is about opening your home to a friend of a friend who has no where to go.
Thanksgiving is about sharing what you have with someone else.
Thanksgiving is being thankful and being grateful.
Often times we go about our lives complaining about not having this or not having that.
But in the deepest of realities we have more than we NEED.
On this Thanksgiving Day I am grateful to be surrounded by loved ones.
To have more than enough good food to eat.
To live in my own house, the home I am providing for me and Alvin.
To be in good health.
To be able to watch the leaves falling from the trees.
To hear the songs playing on the radio.
To sleep in my own bed at night.
For all of this and much more; I am truly thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving from me and Alvin to You and Yours.
Special Hello to: ALL of my FAMILY AND FRIENDS – two legged and four – Happy Thanksgiving.
Always, Carol & Alvin
