Thanksgiving

Saying for the Day- If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, "thank you," that would suffice. ~Meister Eckhart

It is Thanksgiving and so I thought I would make up a list of that which I am thankful for.

1. I am thankful that God in his grace has given me another day Having been almost dead three times I have learned that life itself is a gift .


2. I am thankful for Betty who is my wife, my nurse, my driver, my inspiration. God saw I needed an angel to guide me as I sought to serve Him so he sent me Betty.



3. I am thankful for my three children Peter, Pat, and Pennie. Over and over as Betty and I have needed them they have been there for us. One could not ask for better children.


4. I am thankful for Lori. I could not have a better daughter in-law.


5. I am thankful for my grandchildren. They bring laughter and joy to an old man.


6. I am thankful for my sister Dawn. Who, despite the fact that I haven’t always been nice to her has always been there for me.

7. I am thankful for Curtis who has become a good friend with many talents.

8. I am thankful for all the people I meet on a regular basis with blog. You let me see and touch a bit of your lives and in the doing continue to grow.

This list is not all that I’m thankful for but contains the most important items.
It is Thanksgiving so make up your list and then give thanks to God.

Today's Link-Betty's News- Because Betty wants to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving
WE had a great Thanksgiving. After I blogged and discovered that my birthday had moved from May 21 to November 21 we decided this would be my official birthday and a half. Then we went to Peter's house for thanksgiving. Lori had a great meal assisted slightly by her mother. The dogs were very happy to see each other but their antics caused us some pain. Then we watched the Packers win. After that came the annual canasta game, Betty and I against Lori and Pennie. Pennie and Lori were ahead most of the game but in the end Betty and I won. Now we are back in Neenah and I need a breathing treatment.
