"Thanksgiving is for FAMILY"

Another Thanksgiving is here and we have much to be thank-FULL for: good friends; relatively good health; (depending on which relative we are talking about);a good church and church family; food & shelter and family. Well, the amazing thing is, that most of us grew up with families that didn't have a lot. But what we did have was lots of love, a Christian world view and a nurturing place to grow up. There was more innocence to the world then. More neighborliness if you will. Yes, we have become a global society in the world today, and actually, that has been to our children's and their children's disadvantage. Gone are the days kids could room the streets at play and explore the great outdoors free from worry. So when we look back, they were the, "Good 'ol Days!" We have much to look back on and give thanks for this Thanksgiving.

Let us all join together in prayer for a new year ahead of us, that perhaps by our next Thanksgiving, we will see a world where there is more sanity, safety, brotherly love and true "Peace on Earth and Goodwill towards man." A guy can HOPE at least, right?

Here is hoping you will be refreshed by God's grace.

"Happy Thanksgiving"

Wishing all my friends and family a very, "Happy Thanksgiving!"
You can measure wealth in dollars and cents, but "True Riches"

 Discover your REAL wealth, spend time with those that matter most!...get refreshed in His amazing love.

"Better Days Are Coming"

I have always found myself saying, "Better Days Are Coming!" when things aren't going well. When they go bad, my wife and kids know what Dad will say..."Better Days Are Coming!" I  and many others received sad news tonight, but we as Americans can rise above this. More importantly, as Christians we are called to a deeper walk in prayer for the country and it's people. Many will try to second guess what Republicans could have done differently, and could Mitt Romney have done or said something to change to outcome. But, the truth remains the TRUTH; we are a divided country, the polls showed us that much, and that as a country we all need to put the election behind us, and choose to work together for a brighter future. That for me will take a lot of prayer and effort! I hope President Obama is up to the challenge to put party politics aside, and reach across the isle and bring all people to the table and have a fresh start at a new government , "of the people, by the people and for all people." That's my thoughts on tonight. By the way, Mitt gave a classy concession speech tonight and deserves our thanks and prayers for him and his family. May God truly bless him and his family. And, may God bless you, and may God bless America. Be refreshed and renewed. ~David
