Thanksgiving Day

Surely thankful for so many things and so much it would take pages and pages but surely most for being privileged to be a child of God, a true Christian who puts Christ first and foremost above all else in or out of this world and all its universes.  Still though finding the need to ask forgiveness almost every minute for daring to want more - more of this world to enjoy and sad to see myself so worldly tempted.  Watching the Thanksgiving Day Parade and "wanting" to go to every Broadway play they showed us or to go to New York for Christmas to see the Rockettes or this or that - I mean it's pitiful and I could go on and on - but why do I even go there at all - knowing the Dear Lord has blessed me a million times over with so many out of the world blessings and things that can't be bought or made without His power, blessing, mercy and grace.  So both thankful and begging mercy and forgiveness at the same time.  May the Dear Lord send a sense of gratitude to all.  May we think of our sweet Jehovah and our great El Elyon.
