The holidays are upon us and it can be a very joyful time of year. Some of us have problems during the holidays and sometimes are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring thoughts and loving prayer right now.
I'm not asking you to re-post this anywhere, just please stop to say a prayer of support for all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, or worries of any kind.
“A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.” –Cicero
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” –John F. Kennedy
I am very thankful for my family, my friends, good health, a job, a warm roof over my head, food in my stomach, clothes on my back, and for all of you, my blogging family/friends. I am truly blessed.
For those in the US, I wish you a loving, warm, and wonderful time with your family and friends during this Thanksgiving holiday. If you are away from home, I pray you have safe travels.
Blessings to all!
Wishing all our American friends and their families a wonderful Thanksgiving and extending our thoughts and prayers to those who struggle.

Thank you so much Irishey! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours also. Too bad you're so far away, I'd be at your dinner table right now (away from the 'Turkey's) LOL - looks like an awesome menu.

Happy Thanksgiving day, Cat.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy because I could say yes to (well, almost) all of the things on that poster.
Thank you Bas and happy Thankful Thursday to you. I know, you had to put the poster words through a translater but you could still read them. :)
DeleteHappy Anniversary - Have a safe and wonderful weekend with your Lisa.

If I stop to think about it, this would be a sad Christmas season...but for me the joy of blogland is that I get to come here and be excited about teeny little things. I think it's important and necessary to acknowledge sadness and reach out to those who struggle with the season. At the same time, I think it's important to share the message that it *can* be a positive season even in the midst of grief, loss, pain, financial issues, or other difficulties.
ReplyDeleteVery good point Ana. Thanks for the reminder.
